• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese in a large bowl.
• Carefully stir in flaked halibut, diced green chiles, green onions, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
• Spoon filling onto tortillas in a line down the center, and roll them around the filling into a cylinder shape.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.

• Remove pan from heat. Add 1/4 cup oil to oil in frying pan.
• Add chili powder, salt, garlic powder, water and flour in a bowl or salad dressing shaker. Mix until smooth - no lumps!
• Put pan back on high heat. Add mixture, stirring constantly. Don't let it get stiff - add water if necessary. If "slimy" looking, add more flour. Remove from heat.
• Drag tortillas through sauce and place in baking pan. Add cheese, onions and meat if desired; roll. Pour remaining sauce over rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

MOM'S GRILLED ENCHILADA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• COMBINE the MOCK ENCHILADA FILLING ingredients in a small bowl (you may add more or less of any of the ingredients to suit your own flavor and consistency preferences, or add 1 small seeded diced pickled jalapeno pepper and 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh cilantro or a pinch of crushed oregano for a more piquant flavor).
• SPREAD the MOCK ENCHILADA FILLING over one slice sourdough bread; TOP with remaining slice bread to make a sandwich.
• REPEAT sandwich-making process until all of the filling is used (you can make as many as 5 sandwiches, or use more filling on fewer sandwiches).
• PLACE 1 teaspoon of butter in a griddle or skillet, per every one sandwich placed, over low heat until butter melts.
• PLACE sandwich(es) onto preheated griddle.
• SWIRL sandwich(es) around evenly in melted butter in skillet until evenly coated.
• COVER with a lid.
• GRILL sandwich(es) slowly over low heat until golden and crisp on one side; GENTLY turn sandwiches over with a spatula; COVER; GRILL until the other side is golden and crisp.
• REPEAT grilling process for remaining sandwiches.
• SERVE immediately and ENJOY (I like to serve mine with taco sauce on the side for dipping)!
