For the red chile sauce
- 3 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed

- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
For the filling
- 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
For the casserole
- 12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
For serving
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- ¼ cup sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the guajillo and ancho chiles in a large saucepan with the chicken broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes, until the chiles are softened and pliable.

Transfer the softened chiles and broth to a blender. Add the fire-roasted tomatoes, smashed garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt. Set the sauce aside — you should have about 3 cups.
