Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for 10-15 seconds on each side to make them pliable. Set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into the center of a tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese mixture.
Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side.
Enjoy your cheesy, delicious enchiladas!
