CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and have ready a greased 9x13" baking dish. Combine both the Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Add the butter to a large sauté pan over medium heat. As soon as the butter has melted, add sprinkle in the flour and whisk to combine. Add the beef broth in one big splash at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and paprika and whisk to combine.
• Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, and reduce the heat as needed to maintain it. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat, ladle a scant cup of sauce across the bottom of the casserole dish, and set the remaining sauce aside.
• Working in batches of 4, wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and place them on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until very pliable and soft.
• As the corn tortillas come out of the microwave, stuff them with about 2 tablespoons of cheese, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the casserole dish in two rows of six. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch shallow baking dish or pan or a very large cast-iron skillet.
• Add the oil and flour to a medium skillet. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture (known as roux) turns a golden color, smells nutty and thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add garlic, chile powder, cumin, oregano and black pepper to the roux. Whisk until smooth (some clumping from the garlic is fine), being careful to not let the spices burn, about 30 seconds.
• While whisking constantly, add beef broth 1/4 cup at a time, whisking after each addition, until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat, and allow the gravy to rest for another 10 minutes. Taste the gravy and season with salt as needed for a savory sauce.
• Meanwhile, in another pan, lightly heat a tortilla over medium just until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or sheet of foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them in the towel or foil. Be careful of overcooking: You're softening each tortilla to prevent them from cracking as they're filled and folded.
• Fill a softened tortilla with about ⅓ cup of cheese. Roll shut and, with the seam side facing downward, place in the greased baking dish or skillet. Repeat until you've filled all of the tortillas, setting the rolls next to each other.
• Slowly pour the gravy over all of the tortillas to coat. Afterward, sprinkle the dish with the rest of the cheese and the diced onion.
• Bake until the gravy is bubbling and the cheese melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Garnish with parsley, if desired, alongside a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
