Servings: persons

3 blue or yellow corn tortillas (6 in. wide)
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons ground New Mexico chilies (also called chili powder)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
Salt
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat (made with 2% milk) cheddar cheese
Nonfat or low-fat sour cream (optional)
1 can (8 oz.) pinto or black beans, heated
1 cup shredded lettuce
2 tablespoons diced tomato

1
In a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over high heat, cook tortillas, in a single layer, until soft and lightly toasted, turning once, about 3 minutes per batch. Set aside as toasted.
2
Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and stir until limp, about 5 minutes; remove from pan.
3
Mix ground chilies and flour in pan and stir over low heat until chilies smell lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
4
Whisk in broth until smooth. Stir over high heat until sauce boils, about 2 minutes. Add salt to taste.
5
Dip 1 tortilla in chili sauce, coating both sides, then set on a microwave-safe plate. Top tortilla with half the onion and a third of the cheese. Repeat layers, using all tortillas and onion. Pour remaining chili sauce (it thickens as it cools) over this stacked enchilada, then sprinkle with remaining cheese.
6
Heat enchilada in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until hot in center, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
7
Top with sour cream and accompany with beans, lettuce, and tomato.
