NO GUILT CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Step 1:
• Soften the tortillas. Normally, tortillas are softened by lightly frying them in hot oil. Skinny enchiladas skips this step -- and all the fat!
• Pour the enchilada sauce in a skillet and heat. Dip each tortilla in the hot sauce, coating each side, for a few seconds. Shake off and place on microwavable platter, 3 or 4 at a time, making sure that they do not overlap. Microwave for 20-40 seconds, until soft. (Time will vary according to your microwave oven.) Set aside to cool.
• Step 2:
• In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (about 1/2 a large onion), ricotta, cottage cheese, green chiles (mild or hot, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Add half the shredded cheese (1/2 cup.) Mix with fork until ingredients are blended.
• Step 3:.
• Spray a rectangular casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• Place approximately 1/12th of the cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup) on a tortilla and loosely roll. Place seam side down in casserole dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled. Spread remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.

CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Enchilada Sauce:.
• Put shortening and flour in pan; add tomato sauce and water. Mix and cook until thickened. Add other sauce ingredients. Cheese is not a sauce ingredient. The computer just lumps all the ingredients together. Cook, the longer the better.
• Homemade Tortillas:.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
• Stir in water and oil. (This can be done in a mixer and turns out very well.) Turn dough onto counter and knead for 2-3 minutes until it is smooth and has no lumps.
• Return dough to bowl, cover with damp cloth or wet paper towel and let sit for 15 minutes. Remove from bowl and divide into 10 pieces. Leave pieces on counter and cover again with a damp cloth for about 10 minutes. Roll out each piece of dough into an 8 inch round. Cook torillas on griddle. Makes 10.

NO-CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Cook zucchini on stove-top (spray some sort of Pam on pan) for about 5-10 minutes, or until soft.
• Add de-thawed (if frozen) corn and beans, as well as mexican spices. After cooking for about 2 minutes (until warm), set aside.
• On a plate, pour a couple large spoonfuls of enchilada sauce and spread it around plate. Put the tortilla on the plate and then turn over to get both sides lightly covered.
• Put the corn mixture in the middle of the sauced tortilla, roll and put in the pan. Continue the process of covering the tortillas and putting the mixture in them. Pour the rest of the sauce on top of the enchiladas.
• Cook in over at 350 degrees and check every ten minutes (usually about 20 minutes if using flour tortillas). Flour tortillas will still be soft, corn tortillas should get crispy.

SHORT FAMILY CHILI CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in skillet.
• Drop corn tortillas into hot oil one at a time, just long enough to blister on each side. (I use my tongs to turn them.) After cooking stack them on top of each other on layers of paper towels this will help absorb some of the oil.
• While you are cooking the tortillas heat chili in a saucepan on very low heat.
• After I have about 10 of the tortillas cooked I start to fill with the chili.
• Put about 3 tablespoons of chili in the tortillas, then fold the bottom up about an inch and then roll the up and place in a 9" x 13" baking dish, seam side down.
• Continue with this method until you have the desired number you want. The 40 oz. size can of Wolf Brand Chili make about 16.
• Make sure you leave enough of the chili to pour over the tortillas.
• After you top with the chili drop the Cheez Whiz by spoonfuls on top of the chili.
• Sometimes I put a spoonful of the cheese in the enchiladas. It's up to you how you want to make them. You can also add onion to the inside or on top of the enchiladas.
• Crush about 3 handfuls of the Fritos corn chip and sprinkle over the top of the enchiladas.
• Bake at 325° for about 25 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese good and warm the chili.
