Enchiladas de Queso
(Flat or Rolled Cheese Tortillas)

Yield: 4 servings
Heating Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Temperature: Medium-High 350°F
Freezes Well

Ingredients

12 corn tortillas*
2 onions chopped
Shortening
2 cups coarsely chopped
4 cups Red or Green Chile sauce*
lettuce (optional)
3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Heat 1/2 inch of shortening in a heavy pan at medium-high heat.
2. Quickly dip each tortilla into the shortening to soften. Drain on absorbent towels.
3. Assemble the enchiladas by placing 1/4 cup sauce on each dinner place, followed by a tortilla (tortilla can be rolled after filling is placed on it), 1/4 cup sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, and onion. Repeat twice. Top with remaining sauce.
