Enchilada Night!

Image
 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
