Red Chile Cheese Enchiladas Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Tortillas

   In another skillet, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium heat. Briefly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until soft. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

3. 3

   Assemble the Enchiladas

   Spread a small amount of red chile sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, place a spoonful of the sautéed onion and a handful of shredded cheese in the center, then roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

4. 4

   Add Sauce and Cheese

   Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining red chile sauce over the top and sprinkle with any remaining cheese.

5. 5

   Bake

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once baked, remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
