Title: Enchiladas Verdes (Green Enchiladas)
Categories: Mexican
Yield: 4 Servings
12 | | Corn tortillas |
1 | | Clove garlic |
4 | c | Green chili sauce |
2 | c | Grated cheddar or jack chees |
4 | tb | Oil or lard |
1 | tb | Flour |
1 | | Salt to taste |
1/4 | c | Minced onion |
Fry tortillas in fat to soften. Heat garlic in oil then discard garlic.
Blend flour into oil. Stir in green chili sauce and heat thoroughly. If
mixture is too thick, add water. Add salt to taste. Layer tortillas with
sauce, minced onion and cheese on oven-proof plates. Sprinkle cheese on
top. Use 3 tortillas for each serving. Place in oven to allow cheese to
melt. NOTE: For a real New Mexican touch place a poached or fried egg on
top. The egg seems to help meld the flavors.
