Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the Red or Hatch Green Chile sauce, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Stir well and let simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until they are pliable. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a fried tortilla and add a generous amount of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/4 cup) in the center. Roll it tightly and place it seam side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 5

    Repeat

    Repeat the filling and rolling process for the remaining tortillas and cheese.

Baking

  1. 6

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the prepared Chile sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Then sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas sit for a few minutes. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.
