Filling and Sauce
Preparation and Cooking
1. Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Mix in Cheese
Lower the heat, and add the softened cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until melted and combined with the onion. Remove from heat and fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
3. Assemble the Enchiladas
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a corn tortilla, fill it with the cheese mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
4. Top with Sauce and Cheese
Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
5. Bake
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Serve
Allow the enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheese & onion enchiladas!
