Enchiladas!

When I was in high school, I had a friend's mother teach me how her family made enchiladas. They were so good and so easy! I don't know if that's how every enchilada loving family makes them, but I've been making them the same way since then. One thing I've changed is the ingredients. Tonight I thought I'd class it up a little and throw some fresh cilantro and some finely diced onions into the middle of my enchiladas and try it. Here's how to make them!


3 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded mexican blend cheese (might need a little more if you LOVE cheese!)
1 can enchilada sauce
1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
1 table spoon finely diced onions
Preheat oven to 350

**You need to have the cheese, cilantro and onions ready before you start step one. And, have them close and ready to go...don't just leave the cheese in the bag.
1. Pour your enchilada sauce into a small frying pan and heat at a medium heat.
2. Place one corn tortilla in the enchilada sauce and let it warm for 10 seconds or so on each side.
3. Take the tortilla out and place it in your baking dish. Put a couple table spoons of cheese, a pinch of cilantro and a pinch of onions into the middle of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up and place the open sides down so it doesn't unroll.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other two tortillas. When your pan is full, stick it in the oven for about 15 minutes or until all the cheese has melted.

Like I said, this is how I learned to make them, but I'm sure every family does it a little different! Hope y'all enjoy!


Happy Cooking!
