For the Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ground beef, or carne adovada with diced onion, salt, pepper, and cumin. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side to make them pliable. Drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take a tortilla, fill it with a portion of the meat mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it up and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, making sure they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

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