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. :)

Categories     Cheese

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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:

  • 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.

Provided by Kathryn Donangelo

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large flour tortillas or whole wheat
3 cups shredded cheese
8 ounces sour cream
1 can, 20 ounces Red enchilada sauce
1/4 cup yellow onions; diced
1/4 cup green onions; thinly sliced
toppings of your choice; guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the red enchilada sauce and sour cream until combined, creamy and smooth.
  • Ladle in about 2 cups of the sour cream enchilada sauce so it covers the bottom of the dish.

Top with 1 cup of cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted perfectly and bubbly. Garnish with more diced yellow onions and sliced green onions. Serve with guacamole, sour cream, chips and dip to make the perfect meal! Enjoy!

CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Cheese Enchiladas image

Enchiladas are an essential component of Houston's ebullient, dynamic foodways. Mexican in origin, while distinctly Tex-Mex at the same time, the dish adapts to its surroundings. Each version of enchiladas is deeply local: The style ubiquitous in Monterrey, Mexico, will be different from those found in San Antonio or El Paso or Mexico City. But from enchilada to enchilada, the common denominator is deliciousness. In "The Enchilada Queen Cookbook," Sylvia Casares notes, "for Tex-Mex-style cheese enchiladas, yellow cheese, such as Cheddar, is the traditional choice" yielding "the quintessential Tex-Mex enchilada."

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola, plus more for greasing
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ground red chile powder (see Tip)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
2 cups beef broth
Salt
10 corn tortillas
1 pound shredded Cheddar (5 cups)
½ cup finely diced white onion
Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch shallow baking dish or pan or a very large cast-iron skillet.
  • Add the oil and flour to a medium skillet. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture (known as roux) turns a golden color, smells nutty and thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add garlic, chile powder, cumin, oregano and black pepper to the roux. Whisk until smooth (some clumping from the garlic is fine), being careful to not let the spices burn, about 30 seconds.
  • While whisking constantly, add beef broth 1/4 cup at a time, whisking after each addition, until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat, and allow the gravy to rest for another 10 minutes. Taste the gravy and season with salt as needed for a savory sauce.
  • Meanwhile, in another pan, lightly heat a tortilla over medium just until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or sheet of foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them in the towel or foil. Be careful of overcooking: You're softening each tortilla to prevent them from cracking as they're filled and folded.
  • Fill a softened tortilla with about ⅓ cup of cheese. Roll shut and, with the seam side facing downward, place in the greased baking dish or skillet. Repeat until you've filled all of the tortillas, setting the rolls next to each other.
  • Slowly pour the gravy over all of the tortillas to coat. Afterward, sprinkle the dish with the rest of the cheese and the diced onion.
  • Bake until the gravy is bubbling and the cheese melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley, if desired, alongside a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make the cheese enchiladas more flavorful, use a variety of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco.
  • If you want a creamy sauce, use a combination of sour cream and enchilada sauce.
  • For a spicy sauce, add some chopped jalapeños or chili peppers to the enchilada sauce.
  • To get a crispy crust on the enchiladas, fry them in a pan with a little oil before baking them.
  • Serve the cheese enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Cheese enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, there are endless possibilities for creating your own unique cheese enchilada recipe. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give cheese enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
