Enchilada Torte Recipe 435

Steps:

• * In a skillet, brown ground beef until no longer pink; drain fat. Meanwhile, place one tortilla in a 12-in. round casserole or on a large baking sheet or pizza pan. Layer half each of taco sauce, beef, onion and cheddar cheese on the tortilla. Top with second tortilla and press gently; layer half of the refried beans, olives and chilies. Top with third tortilla and layer half each of the sour cream, green pepper and Monterey Jack cheese. Top with fourth tortilla and top with remaining taco sauce, beef, onion and cheddar cheese. On the fifth tortilla, layer remaining beans, olives and chilies. On the sixth tortilla, layer remaining sour cream, green pepper and Monterey Jack cheese. Top with last tortilla; spread with enchilada sauce. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Let stand a few minutes before cutting into wedges. Sprinkle with additional Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
• Pour the remaining enchilada sauce into a shallow dish. Dip 3 tortillas into the enchilada sauce and turn to coat. Line the pie plate with the coated tortillas, overlapping as needed. Top with half the chicken and 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat the layers. Coat the remaining tortillas with the enchilada sauce and place on top. Spread with the remaining enchilada sauce.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the filling is hot and bubbling. Top with the remaining cheese and bake until the cheese is melted.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
• Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
• Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium skillet over medium high heat, cook the ground beef and onion until beef is evenly browned and onion is tender.
• Prepare the enchilada sauce according to package directions. Pour 1/4 cup of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• On each flour tortilla, place an equal portion of the ground beef mixture and about 1 ounce of Cheddar cheese, reserving at least 1/2 cup of cheese. Then tightly roll the tortillas and place seam side down in the baking dish.
• Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and olives.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and cheese is thoroughly melted.
