directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degree F.

Step 2

Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or one teaspoon olive oil.

Step 3

In a food processor or a blender, puree the peeled, roasted peppers, cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice, chicken stock, salt and pepper until smooth.

Step 4

Spread 1/3 cup of the sauce in the prepared baking dish. Top with an overlapping layer of 6 tortillas. Spread refried beans evenly over the tortillas. Top the beans with the shredded chicken mixture, and add 1/3 of the sauce, followed by the remaining 6 tortillas. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Cover with foil.

Step 5

Bake the enchiladas until they begin to bubble on the sides, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil; sprinkle cheese and scallions on top. Continue baking until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
