Cheese Enchiladas With Red Sauce Recipes

CHEESE ENCHILADA RECIPE

Steps:

• Add oil to pot and heat on Medium. Pour in flour and whisk together and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and oregano and mix until clumpy. Pour in chicken broth, whisking the entire time and until there are no more clumps. Heat for 15 minutes or until thickened.
• After you have made your sauce, you will want to dip your corn tortillas in the sauce until they are soft and immediately put it into a greased 11x7 pan.
• From there you will add cheese (I use the Mexican Blended Cheese), roll it up and push it to the end of the pan.
• Continue doing this with your tortillas until your pan is full. From there you will pour the excess sauce over your tortillas. Sprinkle the top with more cheese. (You can also prepare this in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook).
• Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

CHEESE ENCHILADAS IN YUMMY RED SAUCE

Steps:

• SAUCE:.
• Place garlic in cold, non-reactive (non-aluminum - use non-stick or ceramic lined) large sauce pan with oil. Bring up to a medium heat, stirring so that garlic doesn't scorch. Sauté for 1 minute, then add onions. Add remaining dry spices (through parsley) and sauté for 3-4 minutes, to develop oil & spices' flavors. Add remaining ingredients, except cilantro. Simmer gently on low for 30 minutes. Add cilantro at the end. Cool, and then chill overnight in fridge to let flavors meld.
• ENCHILADAS:.
• Preheat oven to 350º. Spray a 9 x 13 lasagna pan thoroughly with Pam. Spread 1 cup of enchilada sauce in bottom of baking pan.
• Combine cheeses, chilies, onions, and olives in large mixing bowl, tossing gently to thoroughly mix.
• Stuff and roll enchiladas with 2/3 of the cheese mixture. Place them, seam-side down in pan - in two rows of 4-5; long the long side of the pan. When all are in pan, pour remaining enchilada sauce FIRST over the outside edges (as they will dry out if not covered), then once down the center. Spread remaining cheese mixture on the two "lanes" that remain uncovered by sauce. Bake, uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and melted. Cool for 5 minutes to re-congeal before serving. Makes 8-10 enchiladas, serving 4-6 people.
