CHEESE AND ONION ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
• In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, oregano and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
• Remove from heat, stir in beans, if using, and 1 1/2 cups cheese. Combine sauce, 2 T water and chili powder.
• Dip each tortilla into sauce; place on plate.
• Spoon 1/3 cup cheese-onion mixture down center of tortilla. Roll up, place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat.
• Top with remaining sauce and cheese.
• Bake until hot 20-25 minutes.

CHEESE AND ONION ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Start by rinsing and de-stemming the tomatoes. Roast them in the oven (400F) for 20 minutes or until you need them.
• Wipe off any dusty crevasses on the dried chiles, then de-stem and de-seed them. Roast the chile pieces in the oven at 400F for 1-2 minutes. Once roasted you can add the chile pieces to a bowl, cover with hot tap water, and let them reconstitute for 20-30 minutes.
• Roughly chop an onion. Saute the onion in a glug of oil over medium heat along with 3 whole, peeled garlic cloves. Cook until the onion is starting to brown.
• Note: before draining the dried chiles you can take a taste of their soaking liquid. If you like the flavor you are welcome to use it in place of stock for the sauce. If, like me, you think it tastes bitter then it's best to use stock for your enchilada sauces.
• Drain the dried chiles. Add the drained chiles, the roasted tomatoes, the onion-garlic mixture, and 3 cups of stock to a blender. Blend until smooth. You can optionally strain the blender sauce through a fine mesh sieve and discard the leftover seeds and skin, but lately I skip this step.
• Cook the enchilada sauce for a few minutes over medium heat in the same pan that cooked the onion-garlic mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Let simmer for a few minutes and then take a final taste for seasoning.
• Warm up the corn tortillas in the oven for 1-2 minutes, or cover them with a damp paper towel and nuke them in the microwave for 60 seconds.
• Shred 1/2 lb. of melting cheese (I used Jack) and finely chop 1/2 an onion for the insides of the enchiladas.
• To build the enchiladas, start by adding a few tablespoons of the sauce to a plate. Dredge a tortilla in the sauce and flip it over. Fill with plenty of cheese and finely chopped onion. Roll tight and set them seam side down in a baking dish. You can add some sauce to the baking dish to prevent sticking. You'll get about 8-10 enchiladas from this recipe, depending on how much filling you use in each tortilla -- I loaded these up and got 8 enchiladas from this batch.
• Cover the rolled enchiladas with sauce and bake for 8-10 minutes (400F) or until the cheese is melted. Top with your choice of fixings (I used Queso Fresco and freshly chopped cilantro) and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Filling:.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, saute diced onion in oil until tender and slightly colored -- 4-6 minutes.

• Let onion mix cool to room temperature, and hold to fill enchiladas.
• Combine all the cheese except 2 oz each of the jack and cheddar with the onion mixture, fold together well.
• Slightly warm the tortillas in a warm saute pan to make them flexible, and put about 2/3 cup of the cheese mix on each tortilla and roll them up.
• Place the rolled tortillas in a lightly oiled casserole dish in a single layer.
• Sauce:.
• In a 2 quart sauce pot over medium heat, cook onions in oil until tender -- 3-5 minutes.

CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the jalapeno slices to the dry skillet and cook until just starting to blacken. Set aside to cool.
• Mix together the sour cream, cumin, cayenne pepper, green onions, cooled jalapenos and 2 1/2 cups of the grated Cheddar in a bowl.
• Using tongs, char the tortillas one at a time over a gas flame for 5 to 10 seconds per side, then dunk each tortilla in the Enchilada Sauce. Lay a tortilla on a plate, then spoon a good 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll the tortilla, then place it seam-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture.
• Cover the dish with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese, then bake until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with extra green onions and serve immediately.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cubes and some salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine. Add the tomato sauce and 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes.
• Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen.

CHEESE & ONION ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• 1. Set oven to 375 degrees. Dice up your onion and set aside 1/4 cup for the top of your enchiladas.
• 2. Saute the rest of the diced onions in some oil and then set aside in a bowl.
• 3. I used 2 bags of cheese and one additional cup of cheese to put on top of the enchiladas. Remove cheese from bags and toss together in a bowl and set aside.
• 4. Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a pan till hot...on a medium heat. You will want tongs to dip down each corn tortilla into the oil. You'll dip and flip 2x....very quickly as you do not want to fry them but just soften them.
• 5. Place your corn tortillas on a plate with a paper towel. One on top of another is fine as you will be rolling them as soon as you are finished dipping them in the oil.
• 6. Now you will place a handful of cheese in the middle of the tortilla with a small amount of sauteed onions on top of cheese.
• 7. Next roll tightly but gently as you don't want to tear the tortilla. Pour enough sauce on the bottom of your baking dish to cover.
• 8. Add your rolled enchilada to dish and pack them snugly into dish. I was able to fit 14 into my 9 by 13 inch dish.
• 9. Add your remaining sauce to the top of your enchiladas...or to your liking. However much sauce you want. Then add another 3/4 cup to a cup of cheese on top and then your 1/4 cup raw onions and 1/4 approx. of sliced black olives. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes.
• 10. Remove from oven and serve with some yummy Spanish rice & a small salad with pico or salsa w/sour cream. Top with chopped fresh cilantro if you have it.
• 11. Broken corn tortillas can be fried up in the leftover oil and then salted and served with dinner. They are better than store bought...so yummy.
• 12. Tracy Joyner's recipe for Red Enchilada Sauce...I doubled the recipe. This is super easy to make and very delicious! https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-gravy/red-enchilada-sauce.html
