Directions: |
Directions:Heat oven to 375º. Fry each tortilla briefly in 1/2 inch of vegetable oil (the tortillas should be floppy). Grate the cheese. Mince the onion and mix into the grated cheese. Pour about 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into a baking dish with low sides. Take a small handful of cheese/onion mix and put it onto the tortilla and roll it up. If your enchiladas have a tendency to unroll, secure each with a wooden toothpick. Lay the enchiladas side by side on the green chili sauce in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with remaining cheese/onion mix. Bake for 45 minutes and serve with fresh or canned pinto beans.
Variations: meat eaters might enjoy putting a small amount of shredded chicken in each enchilada and decreasing the cheese accordingly.
True Nuevo Mexicanos would enjoy some fresh roasted (in oven or on the grill) Hatch green chili in theirs! |

Notes: I first learned this recipe as a Work Study student employed in a Mexican food cafeteria at the University of New Mexico. I learned a log about life, culture and local history from the three "old" (in their 50's) Latina ladies I assisted by bussing tables and "rolling" enchiladas. This is a toned down variation that my children enjoyed from the time they were two years old.
