    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    2

    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    3

    Add the drained pinto beans and spices to the skillet, and mix well for 3 minutes to warm through.

    4

    Remove the skillet from heat and carefully mash the bean mixture with a fork or potato masher, leaving some whole beans for texture.

    5

    Take a tortilla and fill it with about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture, rolling it tightly, and place it seam side down in a baking dish.

    6

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas until your baking dish is filled.

    7

    Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with cheese on top.

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
