Directions

Step #1 SAUCE:.
Step #2 Place garlic in cold, non-reactive (non-aluminum – use non-stick or ceramic lined) large sauce pan with oil.
Step #3 Bring up to a medium heat, stirring so that garlic doesn't scorch.
Step #4 Sauté for 1 min, then add onions.
Step #5 Add remaining dry spices (through parsley) & sauté for 3-4 mins, to develop oil & spices' flavors.
Step #6 Add remaining ingredients, except cilantro.

Step #15 Stuff & roll enchiladas with 2/3 of the cheese mixture.
Step #16 Place them, seam-side down in pan – in two rows of 4-5; long the long side of the pan.
Step #17 When all are in pan, pour remaining enchilada sauce FIRST over the outside edges (as they will dry out if not covered), then once down the center.
