SUPER EASY CHEESY ENCHILADAS



Super Easy Cheesy Enchiladas image

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.

Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

One 12-ounce jar jalapeno slices, drained
2 cups sour cream, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 green onions, sliced, plus more for sprinkling
4 cups grated sharp Cheddar
18 corn tortillas
Enchilada Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 beef, chicken or tomato bouillon cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock
Two 15-ounce cans tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the jalapeno slices to the dry skillet and cook until just starting to blacken. Set aside to cool.
  • Mix together the sour cream, cumin, cayenne pepper, green onions, cooled jalapenos and 2 1/2 cups of the grated Cheddar in a bowl.
  • Using tongs, char the tortillas one at a time over a gas flame for 5 to 10 seconds per side, then dunk each tortilla in the Enchilada Sauce. Lay a tortilla on a plate, then spoon a good 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll the tortilla, then place it seam-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture.
  • Cover the dish with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese, then bake until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with extra green onions and serve immediately.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cubes and some salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine. Add the tomato sauce and 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes.
  • Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
  • The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen.

EASY CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Easy Cheese Enchiladas image

These Cheese Enchilada are simply the best! Super cheesy and smothered in a Sour Cream Enchilada Sauce. This hearty meal can be made in 30 minutes or less!

Provided by Kathryn Donangelo

Categories     Main Course

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.
  • Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in the middle of each tortilla. Add a pinch of diced onions and a pinch of sliced green onions. Roll the tortilla and place on the baking dish. Repeat until you have made 8 enchiladas.
  • Add the remaining enchilada sauce to the top making sure to get the corners. I like to use a spoon to ensure the top is evenly coated with sauce. 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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your enchiladas the best flavor. If possible, use fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and cheese.
  • Shred your own cheese: Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make it less melty. Shredding your own cheese will ensure that it melts evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and will also make them more likely to break. Aim to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
  • Cook the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the enchiladas are cooked through and that the cheese is nice and gooey.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for enchiladas include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious batch of enchiladas that will be sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
