Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large flour tortillas or whole wheat
3 cups shredded cheese
8 ounces sour cream
1 can, 20 ounces Red enchilada sauce
1/4 cup yellow onions; diced
1/4 cup green onions; thinly sliced
toppings of your choice; guacamole, sour cream, diced tomatoes, onions

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the red enchilada sauce and sour cream until combined, creamy and smooth.
  • Ladle in about 2 cups of the sour cream enchilada sauce so it covers the bottom of the dish.
  • Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in the middle of each tortilla. Add a pinch of diced onions and a pinch of sliced green onions. Roll the tortilla and place on the baking dish. Repeat until you have made 8 enchiladas.
  • Add the remaining enchilada sauce to the top making sure to get the corners. I like to use a spoon to ensure the top is evenly coated with sauce. Top with 1 cup of cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted perfectly and bubbly. Garnish with more diced yellow onions and sliced green onions. Serve with guacamole, sour cream, chips and dip to make the perfect meal! Enjoy!

SENOR PICO'S CHEESE ENCHILADAS

This recipe is from a popular restaurant in California. When I made these I felt that there was way too much enchilada sauce and would half that next time. I also forgot to add the salt and msg in the filling and thought it was plenty salty enough without.

  • Choose the Right Cheese: For the best flavor and texture, use a blend of Mexican cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco. You can also experiment with other cheeses, such as mozzarella or pepper Jack.
  • Don't Overcook the Tortillas: Be careful not to overcook the tortillas when frying them. They should be just soft and pliable enough to roll without breaking.
  • Pack the Enchiladas Tightly: When filling the tortillas, pack the cheese and other ingredients tightly to prevent them from falling out during baking.
  • Use a Good Sauce: The sauce is an important part of any enchilada recipe. Make sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and pairs well with the other ingredients.
  • Don't Skimp on the Toppings: Top the enchiladas with plenty of toppings, such as shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and Pico de Gallo. This will add flavor, texture, and color to the dish.
