These enchiladas are really quite easy to put together once you have the sauce. I made the sauce from scratch but you can use store bought if you would prefer. If you have the time, I encourage you to so ahead and make you own sauce. Here is what you are going to need for these:
Heat a skillet with about 2 inches of oil. Heat oil well. When oil is hot, add tortillas, one by one for a few seconds to soften. Place the tortillas on a paper towel lined plate and drain excess oil.
Line the bottom of and oven proof 9×13 pan with enchilada sauce. Pour some enchilada sauce in a bowl.
Place the softened and drained tortillas, one by one, into the sauce you have set aside. Coat tortilla well. Add shredded cheese to the middle of tortilla and roll. Place the enchilada into the baking dish. Do this with all 12 tortillas,
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on to the rolled tortillas. Cover with remaining cheese.
Place casserole in oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven when sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted. Top with chopped scallions and serve. Enjoy!
Ok, I just put these enchiladas together, and it’s in the oven. My wife, who is from Mexico, says the house smells really good. I also made your version of the Mexican rice to go on the side, but I used a long-grain brown rice. I got a surprise when I lifted the lid after 20 minutes on the rice. Both will be ready in about 20 more minutes. I’m sure it will be great. I love your videos because you explain so much, and you make it easy to follow along. Fingers crossed!
