Tex-Mex Enchiladas Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Tex-Mex Enchiladas Recipe). These are authentic Tex-Mex enchiladas as taught to me by a lady originally from Chihuahua, Mexico who then added a bit of Texas. They are super easy to put together and taste incredible! Watch out though, because there is nothing low-fat about them! I like to assemble these enchiladas in the morning or night before, come home and pop them in the oven. When cold, add 10 more minutes to the baking time. Leave out the onions for picky eaters.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix the chili and enchilada sauce together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat stirring occasionally as it simmers.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil and chili powder together in a small skillet over medium heat. Gently lay a tortilla in the hot oil and cook until the tortilla starts to puff. Remove with a spatula and place on a plate. Immediately sprinkle about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped onion down the center of the tortilla; roll the tortilla tightly around the mixture and place seam-side down into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat this process until all the tortillas are used.

Step 4

Sprinkle about 2/3 of the remaining Cheddar cheese over the rolled enchiladas. Pour the warm chili mixture evenly over the enchiladas. Scatter the remaining Cheddar cheese over the layer of the chili mixture.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbling 20 to 25 minutes.
