TOPPINGS:
6 (6-inch) soft flour tortillas

Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (8-ounce) block medium cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup finely diced onion
Sour cream, hot taco sauce, chopped green onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray an 8 x 8" baking dish with cooking spray. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the chili, a little salt and black pepper, and the cumin. Spread a thin layer of the chili mixture in the bottom of the baking dish, just enough to cover. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese for the top. Fill the tortillas with remaining cheese and onion then roll up and place seam side down on top of the chili in the baking dish, placing them close together. When all the tortillas are in the pan, spoon the remaining chili over the top of tortillas, then top with the reserved cheese. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Serve immediately with toppings of choice and whatever sides you want. (I added a thin layer of refried beans to a couple of the tortillas along with the cheese and onion.)

I dont know where my step-mom came up with thsi recipe, but I grew up on it, and it is a favorite when the kids come to visit. I know it sounds strange to add onion and brown gravy to the canned enchilada sauce, but it so works, I promise. It sure makes that canned stuff taste a whole lot better! Just try it, you will see! I also...

  • 2. Prepare gravy mix as directed on each package..(2 cups water mixed in with both packages, stir well and cook til thickened) add enchilada sauce and stir well. Pour about 1/2 cup into bottem of a 8x11 pan.
  • 3. Soften tortillas in a little bit of oil..you dont want to fry them, just soften them and put them on a plate.
  • 4. Take one tortilla and put in a slice of cheddar and a slice of jack cheese, about a teaspoon or a little less of onion and sprinkle a few olives on it, then roll up
  • 5. Pour Sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle some cheese on top, then some olives and bake 350 for 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes to set or they wont come out of the pan real nice. Top with chopped tomatoes , sour cream
  • 6. if I am having company over, I double this and put it in a 13x9 pan. I also have varied this adding some hamburger seasoned with taco seasoning mix and a can of green chilis and cheese, or refried beans and cheese. Another time I used a rottiserie chicken and shredded it with some cheese for teh filling. The plain cheese ones are the favorite though.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack.
  • If you want your enchiladas to be extra cheesy, add a layer of cheese between each tortilla.
  • To make your enchiladas more flavorful, use a flavorful sauce, such as a spicy tomato sauce or a creamy tomatillo sauce.
  • If you don't have time to make your own sauce, you can use a store-bought sauce.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking your enchiladas.
  • Serve your enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.
