Toppings
Method
Prepare the Sauces
Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce
In a blender, combine roasted red peppers, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan and heat gently over low heat until warmed through.
Prepare the Enchiladas
Fry the Tortillas
In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until they are soft but not crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Assemble the Enchiladas
Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded Jack cheese in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Bake and Serve
Add Sauce and Bake
Pour the green tomatillo sauce over half of the enchiladas and the roasted red pepper cream sauce over the other half. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve topped with sour cream, chopped green onions, and sliced olives.
