U F O ENCHILADAS



U F O Enchiladas image

My parents lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico before I was born and my dad learned to make these. He didn't follow a recipe, just threw things in the pot, so it took a bit of figuring out. Dad used to drive to a little town called Chimayo and get a special chili powder for making these, that is why there is such a wide gap of chili powder in the ingredients (Chimayo chili powder is pretty potent stuff). The fried egg on top is what really makes these unique.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/2-1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (depending on how spicy you want them)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons cold water
12 corn tortillas
1 cup vegetable oil (optional)
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
6 eggs
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large pot brown the hamburger and 3/4 of the onion reserving some to sprinkle over the tops when they are done if desired.
  • When the meat is brown and the onion tender add the tomato sauce and chili powder and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl mix the cornstarch and water together until blended, and pour into the sauce in the pan.
  • Stir until sauce is thickened about 10 minutes or so.
  • In a skillet just slightly larger than the tortillas heat the oil until hot.
  • Slide a tortilla in the hot oil and cook for 5 seconds on each side, don't let them get too crisp.
  • Place on a plate and spread sauce over the top.
  • Top with 1/4 cup cheese.
  • Repeat with a second layer of tortilla, sauce and cheese.
  • Carefully slide an egg in the hot oil and using a spatula splash some of the hot oil over the egg to cook the white.
  • Scoop egg out of the oil and place on top of the enchilada.
  • Scatter some of the chopped lettuce around and some onion if desired.
  • Enjoy!
