Enchilada Night!

 We love Mexican food and so we love enchiladas! This is our family enchilada recipe - the key ingredient is to fry the tortillas - yum! You can vary the type of meat too - I often will make a roast and use the leftover meat in the enchiladas! Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

• corn tortillas (white or yellow)
• 2 cans or 2 packages of enchilada sauce
• onion, chopped
• canola oil
• 1 pound of cheddar cheese
• 0.75-1 pound of meat - I used two chicken breasts for this recipe but you can substitute any meat!

These are our preferred brands - we make a "Christmas" enchiladas with green and red sauces

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Sauté the chicken and onion in a frying pan. Add a little oil if needed. 

Shred the cheese. 

Next - fry the tortillas by putting about a half an inch of oil into a frying pan and heating it until its hot but not smoking. When you are able to add a tortilla and it sizzles - then it's ready! Fry all the tortillas (usually 12 in a package) for about 10 seconds each so that they are still a little soft.

Then, take each tortilla and add cheese and the meat mixture to it. Then roll it up and add it to your pan. 

Last - pour over the sauce and top with the remaining cheese!

  

Pop in the oven for about 30 minutes - the sauce will be bubbling and the cheese will be melted!  Enjoy!
