Lubys Cafeteria Cheese Enchiladas With Chili Sauce Food

EASY CHILI CHEESE ENCHILADAS RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray an 8 x 8" baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the chili, a little salt and black pepper, and the cumin. Spread a thin layer of the chili mixture in the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese for the top. Fill the tortillas with remaining cheese and onion then roll up and place seam side down on top of the chili in the baking dish, placing them close together. When all the tortillas are in the pan, spoon the remaining chili over the top of tortillas, then top with the reserved cheese. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with toppings of choice and whatever sides you want. (I added a thin layer of refried beans to a couple of the tortillas along with the cheese and onion.)
