Ingredients

1 3/4 cups Dried pinto beans

8 cups Water

2 cloves Garlic, minced

1 Bay leaf

1/2 cup Water

2 teaspoons Chili powder

12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

1 cup Shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese

3/4 cup Fat free sour cream

1/4 cup Chopped green onions

Sauce:

48 ounces No salt added tomato sauce

8 ounces Chopped green chilies, undrained

3/4 cup Chopped green onions

1 tablespoon Chili powder

2 teaspoons Dried oregano

1 clove Garlic, minced

Preparation

Sauce: combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until

ready to use.


Wash beans and soak overnight at room temperature. Discard

soaking water and place beans in a large pot. Add 8 cups water,

garlic, bay leaf and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and

simmer for 1 1/2-2 hours or until beans are tender. Drain beans

and discard bay leaf. Place beans in a large shallow bowl and

mash with a potato masher or fork. Stir in 1/2-cup sauce

mixture, 1/2-cup water and chili powder and mix well.


Place 1 cup sauce in a small nonstick skillet and heat over

medium heat. Place 1 tortilla in the sauce and heat until it

becomes pliable. Spread 1/4 cup bean mixture down the center of

the tortilla. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese, loosely

roll and place seam side down in a baking dish sprayed with

nonstick cooking spray. Repeat with remaining tortillas.


Pour remaining tomato sauce over tortillas and cover and bake

at

350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through. Top with

remaining

cheese and bake uncovered for 5 minutes. Top with green onions

and serve with sour cream.

Is it me? The recipe tells you to combine all ingredients for the sauce but you can tell by reading the recipe that you don't do that. So to make this, I believe you'd have to study the recipe and eliminate the ingredients added elsewhere in order to isolate those in the sauce.
