Tex-Mex Style Enchiladas
Ingredients
  • 2 (11.25 ounce) cans chili without beans
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 15 corn tortillas
  • 1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion, chopped
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to the temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
In a small saucepan, combine chili and enchilada sauce over medium-low heat. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Set it aside momentarily.
3
In another small skillet, warm vegetable oil and chili powder over medium heat. Fry one tortilla until it begins to expand slightly. Remove with a spatula and place on a separate plate. Immediately sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese and 1 tablespoon of onion down the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the mixture and transfer, seam-side down, to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
4
Sprinkle about 2/3 of the remaining cheese over the rolled enchiladas. Pour the warm chili mixture evenly over the enchiladas. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top of the chili mixture.
5
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
