Ingredients

1/4 to 1/2 C. chili powder

2 to 3 T. vegetable oil

1 t. salt

2 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce + 1/2 C. of water

16 oz. or more of Monterey Jack Cheese, grated

or queso fresco ranchero, crumbled

1 med. onion chopped

20 corn tortillas

Directions

Heat the chili powder and 2-3 T. veg. oil in large skillet over low heat for 3-4 minutes.

Add salt and tomato sauce and simmer for 10-15 min.

Stir in water and mix cheese and onion in a bowl.

Heat 1/2 C. vegetable oil in small skillet and dip tortilla quickly in a shallow dish filled with lukewarm water, then in heated oil and finally in the chili sauce.

Spoon about 2 T. of the cheese mixture onto the tortilla and roll up.

Place in a 9X13" baking dish. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.

Spoon any remaining chili sauce over the enchiladas and spinkle with the remaining cheese mixture.

Bake at ~400 for 15 minutes.

You may prepare the enchiladas and chill, covered w/plastic wrap until ready to serve, letting the enchiladas come to room tempertature before baking.

Hey saavedra - question...I'm not sure I'm understanding the instructions, and I would love to make these. You dip the tortilla in water first and then into the hot oil? Doesn't that cause a lot of splattering when the water and oil mix? I'm thinking I'm just not following something...my brain IS a bit fried this afternoon!!

Oh I was confused too...when first I made this recipe Krumkake, yes it states:" Dip 1 tortilla quickly in a shallow dish filled w/lukewarm water, then in the heated vegetable oil and finally in the chili sauce."

I found it very confusing and if you want you can skip- lightly frying tortilla- as I have and can't say it made a difference. I have an A+ written on this recipe but it is definately a bit time consuming and messy to make, but well worth it.

I don't think a beginner cook would enjoy making this recipe.
