Veggie Enchiladas With Ranchero Sauce Food

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS RANCHERAS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place dried red chile in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
• When chile is softened, remove stem. Cut the chile lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and white stringy areas and discard. Cut chile into long pieces about 1/4 inch across, and then cut the strips into 1/4-inch-size pieces.
• Heat two tablespoons of oil or lard in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onion and pepper and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, chile, garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook for an additional five minutes, stirring. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover pan and keep it over low heat to stay warm while you prepare the tortillas. Note: If you prefer a smooth version of the sauce, you can use a handheld immersion blender to blend it in the pan until it reaches your desired consistency. If using a jar-style blender, let the sauce cool to near room temperature before attempting to blend it. You can then reheat the sauce over low heat.
• Add remaining cooking oil to a medium-sized frying pan to coat the bottom. Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat.
• Place a tortilla in the hot oil, and cook for about 10 to 15 seconds. Flip it over and add 1/4 cup cheese down the center. The cheese will begin to melt. Cook the tortilla for about another 10 seconds.
• Flip it over and add 1/4 cup cheese down the center. The cheese will begin to melt. Cook the tortilla for about another 10 seconds.
• Remove it from pan and place on absorbent paper to absorb some of the oil.
• Wrap one side over cheese, and then the other side, so that cheese is now rolled up inside of tortilla.
• Quickly cook another tortilla and cheese, transfer to paper towels, and then place on a serving plate. Repeat process until all tortillas have been cooked, adding more oil as necessary.
• To serve, pour about 1/2 cup of sauce over pairs of enchiladas. These enchiladas are great plain or topped with cream, guacamole , and/or a sprinkle of chopped fresh onions and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve alone on the plate on alongside some Mexican rice and/or beans.

VEGGIE ENCHILADAS WITH RANCHERO SAUCE

Steps:

• First make your sauce. Saute onions, jalapenos, and fresh tomatos in oil. Salt generously to release the water in the tomatos, it makes a better sauce. If you are using canned tomatos, add them after onions are cooked soft. Then add poblano, tomato sauce and oregano, cover and let simmer. If you use cilantro, don't add it until you are ready to put the sauce on the enchiladas, or it can turn bitter To make enchilada filling: Grate squash and then carrots in food processor, set aside. In a heavy skillet with a lid, saute onion, celery, carrot, garlic, spices and jalapeno in oil until onions soften, 5-7 minutes. Add grated squash on top of sauted mixture, cover and let simmer until squash is steamed, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, mix cooked veggies with grated cheese. This is the filling for your enchiladas. To assemble enchiladas, first ladle 1/2 cup sauce into a cassarole dish. Heat about 2 T. oil in a small skillet, and sprinkle in a little chili powder. Using tongs, fry tortillas two at a time quickly in hot oil, just long enough to soften. Fresh tortillas will bubble up a little, so watch out for the steam. Set them on a plate and cover while you fry the rest, adding more oil and chili powder to the pan as needed. Put a softened tortilla in the cassarole dish, fill with about 2 T veggies and roll up tightly. Keep going until your dish is full. Pack them in fairly tight, so they will not unroll. Top with just enough sauce to cover all, then with cheese down the center of the pan so it looks nice. Bake at 350 until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
