350 degree f oven for 30-45 minutes
ingredients
1 package corn tortillas (12 pack)
1 16 oz package colby/monterey jack cheese - block
1 white onion (not sweet) finely chopped
1 40 oz can wolf brand chili without beans (you can use your favorite brand but this makes the best)
tags: chili, corn-tortillas, monterrey-jack-cheese, oil, onions
Directions:
1. Directions:
2. In a skillet large enough to hold one flat tortilla, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.
3. Lay one tortillas at a time in hot oil for 10 seconds or just until limp, adding more oil as needed.
4. Let excess oil drip back into pan and then lay tortilla on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb oil.
5. Blot slightly with additional paper towels between each addition.
6. Repeat with all 12.
7. In a 9 1/2 inch by 12 inch oven safe casserole dish, spread a very thin layer of chili over the bottom.
8. Take the first tortilla, place a 1/4 inch thick slice of cheese (should be about 1/2 inch wide) down the middle of the tortilla, side to side, sprinkle one tablespoon chopped onion over the cheese.
9. Roll up and place seam side down in the casserole dish and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
10. Slightly thin the remaining chili with water and spread over the top of the enchiladas, covering them completely.
11. Either grate some of the cheese over or add several thin slices randomly over the chili.
12. Cover completely with aluminum foil.
13. Place in 350 degree F oven for 30-45 minutes.
14. Check at 30 minutes to see if chili is bubbling and remove then if it is or continue heating another 10-15 minutes.
15. Serve with rice, refried beans, guacamole.
16. This recipe was created by my mother, Elaine Thomas, many years ago to save spending the money at El Chicos for a family of five.
