SUPER EASY CHEESY ENCHILADAS

When you don't have a lot of time or money. I made this for my family for around a dollar per serving. If the only Mexican food your kids will touch is cheese quesadillas (cheese melted on a tortilla), give this a try as a "step up". My picky picky DD was okay with cheese enchiladas when we told her it was cheese in a tortilla with a sauce on top. Now she has been known to eat spinach enchiladas and chicken enchiladas! :) She gave this recipe two thumbs up. :)

Steps:

  • First, you want to mix the first four ingredients together until they are really well combined. Seriously, you will not see any little shreds of cheese and it will have the texture of stiff play dough (this is important).
  • Preheat your oven to 350 and grab a pan. I used an 11x7 inch oval baking dish, but you can also use an 8inch square.
  • Pour about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the pan and swirl the pan until the bottom is coated.
  • Reach in with your clean hands and grab about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture in your hands and shape into a log. Roll a tortilla around this log and place in the pan. Repeat for the rest of the cheese and tortillas.
  • Pour the rest of the sauce on top, spreading it to cover.
  • Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top, and place in the oven. Bake 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
  • For OAMC: Freeze before cooking, thaw in refrigerator and bake according to directions.

2 cups shredded cheese (whatever floats your boat, I used a preshredded Colby or Monterey Jack blend)
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 -2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 -2 teaspoon instant minced onion (or a smidge of grated fresh)
12 corn tortillas
15 ounces enchilada sauce
1/2 cup more shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Add the ancho chile, chipotle chile, cocoa, oregano, garlic powder and cumin and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture is thickened slightly and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, whisk until smooth and continue to cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat in a large skillet until shimmering. Quickly fry each tortilla in the oil, about 5 seconds per side; let drain on paper towels.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Mix the Chihuahua, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl. Ladle about a 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-14-inch glass baking dish. Stuff each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the cheese blend. Roll the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish in 2 identical rows of 6. Cover with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the pickled jalapeno and fresh cilantro.

3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 yellow corn tortillas
16 ounces Chihuahua or Oaxaca cheese, shredded
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1/4 cup pickled jalapenos
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
