Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a saucepan, combine white rice, vegetable broth, tomato paste, and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

In another saucepan, heat one cup of store-bought enchilada sauce on low heat.

ASSEMBLING THE ENCHILADAS

Dip a corn tortilla in the warm enchilada sauce for about 10 seconds to soften.

Place the softened tortilla on a flat surface, and add a spoonful of cooked rice and a spoonful of pinto beans to the center. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Tightly roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining tortillas.

FINISH WITH

Pour the remaining cup of enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve and enjoy your Easy Cheesy Bean and Rice Enchiladas!
