An extra-cheesy, easy-peasy Tex-Mex Enchilada recipe from a Mexican cook who added a Texas flair. Assemble the night before and pop them in the oven the next day for a carefree meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans chili without beans , 11.25 ounce
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 15 medium corn tortillas
  • 1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion , chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Combine chili and enchilada sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil and chili powder in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry one tortilla until it starts to puff. Remove with a spatula and place on a plate. Immediately sprinkle about 1/4 cup cheese and 1 tablespoon onion down center of tortilla. Roll tortilla tightly around mixture and transfer, seam-side down, to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle about 2/3 of remaining cheese over rolled enchiladas. Pour warm chili mixture evenly over enchiladas. Scatter remaining cheese over chili mixture.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
