When my mom and kids see this post they’ll be thinking, “What took her so long?” I’ve made these so many times I could probably make them with my eyes closed. I usually serve them with Texas rice or beans and rice, sour cream, and sliced avocados and tomatoes.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 cup hot water
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
10 yellow corn tortillas
Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (or combination of both)
Cooked, shredded chicken, turkey, pork or beef (optional)
Do ahead:
Clear off workspace
Spray a 13x9-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside
Measure flour into small bowl
In small bowl stir the chili powder into the hot water
Open can of tomato sauce
Prepare cheese: Shred 1 cup of cheese and also prepare 10 finger-size pieces of cheese (1/2-inch by 1/2-inch by 4-inch)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a skillet until very hot. Add the flour and stir it constantly until it turns golden brown. (This goes very quickly, so watch it carefully.) Whisk the chili powder/hot water mixture and then the tomato sauce into the hot oil. Add enough chicken broth to make a sauce the consistency of heavy cream. This may take as much as 1/2 cup of stock. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed. Cover the pan and turn the heat down to the lowest setting and let sauce cook for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally.
While sauce is cooking, prepare to steam your tortillas. I do this by putting an inch of water in a small sauce pan (6-inch diameter) and bring it to boil over high heat. I then lay a slotted, metal serving spoon over the top, suspended over the boiling water. I know, I know. This sort of sounds ridiculous, but it works for me.
To prepare enchiladas lay a corn tortilla over the metal spoon and heat until it begins to turn limp. Remove from heat and place on plate. Spoon a small amount of sauce over tortilla. Place a stick of cheese and a scant amount of optional meat filling at one edge of tortilla. Roll tortilla around filling and place seam-side down in pan. Continue with all tortillas. (Watch how you use the sauce so you have enough left to spoon over casserole. If you’re running low, thin with more chicken broth.) Spread remaining sauce over tortillas, trying to cover all exposed areas. Sprinkle shredded cheese down the center of the enchiladas. Cover baking dish with foil.
Bake enchiladas at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes.
