Steps:
- 1. Combine enchilada sauce and chili; mix well. Spoon a small amount into the bottom of a 9"x 7" baking dish, spreading to cover lightly.
- 2. Place taquitos in a single layer over the sauce. NOTE: When I used the whole package of taquitos, there wasn't enough sauce, which is why I only recommend 6-8.
- 3. If using alternative method, spoon 1/2 tsp. onion and 1/4 c. cheese into each tortilla and roll up tightly, then place in a single layer in baking dish.
- 4. Pour remaining sauce over taquitos. If desired, top with extra cheese.
- 5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
Tips:
- Use a variety of tortillas. Corn tortillas are traditional, but you can also use flour tortillas or whole wheat tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them so they don't crack.
- Don't overstuff the tortillas. You want the enchiladas to be able to roll up easily without breaking. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes the enchiladas, so be sure to use one that you love. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to simmer it for a while so the flavors can develop.
- Top the enchiladas with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for enchiladas, and it helps to hold them together. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a Mexican blend is a good option.
- Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and hot. This usually takes about 20 minutes. You can also broil the enchiladas for a few minutes at the end to get a nice golden brown crust.
Conclusion:
Cheater enchiladas are a quick and easy way to make a delicious and satisfying meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of prep work, you can have a hot and cheesy plate of enchiladas on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give cheater enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
