I made this for dinner tonight and it was so good! We had a tossed salad with it.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of mild cheddar cheese, grated
- corn tortillas
- vegetable oil
- 1/4-1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- Enchilada sauce, heated
- sour cream, optional
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
You will need some tongs and a plate or tray to assemble your enchiladas.
Using tongs, dip two corn tortillas at a time into the hot oil. When the tortillas start to bubble, lift and dip them into the oil 3 times fairly quickly.
The goal here is to make the tortillas soft. If the tortillas are left in the oil too long they will get hard and be difficult to roll. Once you do this, dip the tortillas into hot enchilada sauce to coat. Now put the tortillas on a plate to cool one minute.
Add a hand full of the grated cheese and sprinkle some onion down the center of one tortilla and roll it. Do this by grabbing one end of the tortilla and bringing it 3/4 of the way over to the other end. Tuck and roll the tortilla. Place into baking dish.
Using a ladle, pour hot enchilada sauce over the top of the cheese enchiladas and let plenty of sauce run down the sides.
Sprinkle more cheese and onion on top in the desired amount.
Bake on 400 degrees for about 7 minutes until sauce starts to bubble. Top with sour cream!
