Enchiladas Fantastica Recipes

FRANCES' FANTASTIC ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Brown ground beef in skillet and drain excess grease - set aside.
• Mix together olives, green onions, and 2/3 of the cheese - set aside.
• Wrap about 6 tortillas in a damp (not too wet) kitchen towel.
• Heat the tortillas in a microwave, high, for about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. This will make them soft for rolling.
• Now create an assembly line - 1) tortillas; 2) place enchilada sauce in a pie pan about 1 inch deep; 3) ground beef; 4) olive, green onion, cheese mixture; 5) 9x12 casserole dish; 6) one plate on which to roll the enchiladas.
• Spoon just enough enchilada sauce to lightly cover the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Place one tortilla in the enchilada sauce, flip to cover both sides - place it on your rolling plate.
• In middle of tortilla, add a strand of ground beef and olive/green onion/cheese mixture.
• Roll and place in casserole dish with fold side down. Keep going until all tortillas are gone.
• Add remaining sauce and cheese across the top.
• Bake at 420 for 20 minutes.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.

ENCHILADAS FANTASTICO

Steps:

• Let us begin by shredding the entire brick of cheese. If you are as crazy about cheese as I am, you might even shred a few cups more.
• In a large bowl combine the shredded pork, half the cheese, Black Beans, and one can of the olives. Add a little pepper, maybe some salt and chili powder to taste.
• In another large bowl put two cans of Tomato sauce, and add a generous amount of Chili Powder. (No kidding that's all real enchilada sauce is).
• In a deep sided pan place the corn oil and bring to a high enough heat to deep fry.
• A rookie mistake is failing to cook the tortillas prior to use. This is why the tortillas break apart when you try to roll them. All tortillas require cooking prior to use, they come only partially cooked normally. One by one take your corn tortillas and place then in the oil. when the tortillas are still limp, but on the verge of becoming stiff, lift them out and drop them in the bowl of enchilada sauce to cool.
• Here comes the messy part. Take the tortilla dripping with enchilada sauce and place it on a cutting board. Scoop up the shredded pork and cheese mixture and add it in a thick line across the tortilla. Roll the tortilla into a tube and place in a square/rectangular baking dish or pan.
• Repeat.
• When the pan is full of lovely enchiladas, poor the sauce from the bowl over the whole affair, but don't drown it.
• Add the rest of the cheese and olives on top.
• Bake in oven at 350°F for approx 15-20 minutes.
• Use a spatula to remove the enchiladas two at a time to a plate. Garnish with sour cream if desired.
• Recommended side dish: Refried Beans and Spanish style rice of course!
