Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Gluten-free corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups Gluten-free enchilada sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions, for garnish
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the gluten-free tortillas one at a time for about 20 seconds per side, until they are pliable but not crispy. This helps to prevent cracking when rolling.
Spread 1/2 cup of the gluten-free enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place approximately 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each enchilada is fully covered with sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions.
Serve warm and enjoy!
