Steps:

• Warm slightly less than 1/2 the can of enchilada sauce in a large glass bowl in microwave (or on stove, in pan or skillet).

SLOPPY ENCHILADA (CHILAQUILES, OUR WAY)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet. 1/3 cup is an estimation, depending on the size of the pan. Use enough to cover bottom of the pan to about an 1/8 of an inch. Stack several or all corn tortillas & cut into triangles. Once oil is hot, add tortilla's. Cook until at least 1/2 are crispy, turning every so often. If there is too much oil in the pan after you've cooked them to your satisfaction, try to drain or remove the excess. Some is okay & will just get mixed in with the other ingredients.
• Add the sauce(s) & stir.
• Add cheese & olives. Stir all together & heat til cheese is melted. This is the time to add any other ingredients you have chosen.
• After plating top w/some cheese, olives, a dollop of sour cream & cilantro.
• Added note: Sometimes I will add to the pan diced onions, chopped cilantro (at the end of heating everything else) and/or cooked meat such as hamburger, shredded chicken or pork.
