I will warn you, though, they are a little messy to make, but oh, so delicious and worth it!
Here's what you will need:
The Sauce:
1 tbs canola oil
2 tbs flour
1 large 28 oz can eenchilada or Mexican red sauce (I recommend you use "Hatch red enchilada sauce")
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt/pepper
2 tbs chopped cilantro
The meat:
1 pound ground beef (I used ground turkey once and it was just as good)
1/2 med onion
two 4 oz cans of diced green chilies
Finishing touches:
10 tortillas
canola oil for frying tortillas
1/2 cup chopped green onions
cilantro
2-3 cups grated cheese
First, begin with the sauce. In a saucepan over med heat, add the flour and canola oil. Let bubble for about a minute. Stir in the chicken broth, enchilada sauce, salt and pepper. Allow to boil for a few seconds, then reduce heat to simmer and add the cilantro.
Now, using tongs, dip each tortilla into the red sauce. Set the soaked tortillas on a plate. In the tortilla, add the beef, a sprinkle of green onion, and some shredded cheese. Roll it up, and place in a greased baking dish. Repeat with each tortilla.
I'm sorry I don't have a lot of step by step pictures for this part- my hands were covered in the red sauce!
Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas, and garnish with some extra cilantro and lots of shredded cheese.
Bake enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly.
Let cool, and enjoy!
