Title: OLD FASHIONED TEX-MEX CHEESE ENCHILADAS
Categories: Cheese
Yield: 1 lot
4 tb Flour
1 ds Black Pepper
3 tb Chili Powder
3 c Boiling Water
1/4 c Melted Butter or Oil
12 Corn Tortillas
2 ts Ground Cumin
10 oz Grated Cheese(cheddar/jack)
1 ts Salt
1 lg Onion diced or chopped
1 Beef Bouillon cube
1/2 c Green Pepper diced or chopt
1/2 ts Garlic Powder
1 1/2 c Cooking oil hot for frying
Brown the Flour at about 450F. for 10-15 minutes; do
not let it burn. Combine the browned flour with the
other dry ingredients and blend with the butter (oil)
over low heat until smooth. Slowly add the boiling
water, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring continuously.
Add the bouillon cube and stir as you add the
remaining water. Simmer the sauce for about one hour,
stirring occasionally. Fry the Tortillas, one at a
time, for about five to ten seconds per side in the
hot oil (they should not get crisp, this is just to
"cook" them a little -- the time depends entirely on
the temperature of the oil). Remove them from the oil,
draining excess oil back into skillet and then dip
them in the hot enchilada sauce. Place tortilla on a
plate and spoon about 1 tablespoon of a mixture of the
Onion and Green Pepper along a line about 1-1/2 inch
from the center of the tortilla. Place about 1
tablespoon of cheese along that line also. Carefully
roll (it will be hot) the tortilla around the filling
and place it seam side down in a rectangular baking
dish. Repeat with all the tortillas. Pour the
remaining sauce over the enchiladas and then spread
some of the remaining onions/peppers over the top.
Finally, top it with a generous portion of the grated
cheese. Bake at about 300F. for 15-20 minutes. DO NOT
OVER COOK!
You can optionally add some spiced, cooked ground beef
or some spiced cooked boneless chicken to the filling;
reduce the onion/pepper/cheese amount by one-half and
add one tablespoon of meat filling.
