Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Heat another skillet over medium heat and add the canned chili along with the water. Stir to mix well and heat through. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet with the chili to soften. Quickly remove it with tongs and place it on a work surface (such as a plate, cutting board, or piece of waxed paper). Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture on the tortilla. Sprinkle with some of the shredded cheeses and then roll the tortilla up. Repeat with remaining corn tortillas, beef, and shredded cheese. Place, seam side down, in a baking dish.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F or until heated through. Serve hot. Add sour cream, shredded lettuce, and sliced avocado on the side, if desired.

• When meat is light brown, drain fat from beef.
• Put meat back on stove and add both cans of diced tomato with green chilies and cilantro simmer until tomatoes are soft.
• At this point you may add some diced jalapeños, or just add more jalapeño juice (i like it hot!) add tomato sauce and enchilada sauce.
• Simmer on med-low heat with saucepan covered.
• While meat is simmering, you can start to cook the tortillas.
• Heat up canola oil in a pan on med-high heat.
• Add one tortilla at a time, sprinkling both sides with chili powder.
• Cook until outer ring is harder and the middle part of the tortilla is a bit softer (as long as the tortilla is no longer brittle) continue until all 30 tortillas are cooked.
• You may want to wipe off the oil after you remove them from the stove.
• Also, if the heat is too high, the chili powder may turn black, but this will not really affect it's taste, so don't worry, just turn down the heat a lil'!
• By the time all the tortillas are done, the meat should be perfect!
• (It should look kinda soupy) in a large square pan scoop a bit of the meat sauce and spread all over (lasagna pan is fine) lay a tortilla down and fill with meat and cheese (try not to get too much sauce with the meat) carefully roll up tortilla and place against the side of the pan.
• Start at the end of the pan and work your way across.
• After you can no longer fit any more rolled up tortillas in the pan, use the remainder of the meat sauce and cheese for the topping heat up oven to 400°F.
• Place in oven for about 20-30 mins or until cheese is melted and light brown and the tortilla edges that stick up from the sauce are a bit hard turn off your oven.
• For those that like onions on top of your enchiladas, you may add them at this time and place pan back into the oven (make sure oven is turned off!) if you have any meat sauce left, you may enjoy it over some home made Mexican rice!
• Tabasco sauce, salsa, and/or sour cream is perfect for the topping.
• Enjoy with some saltines!

SIMPLE PERFECT ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
• Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
• Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

ANGELA'S AWESOME ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
• Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
