Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup olive or canola oil

Directions:

  1. For the Chili Gravy, make a light roux by melting the shortening or lard in a skillet and stirring in the flour. Stir and cook a few minutes until the flour has browned a little. Add the chili powder, water and salt, and continue to stir and cook until mixture has thickened. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. For the Enchiladas, lightly grease a 9x13-inch Pyrex dish, and preheat your oven to 400F degrees.
  3. Chop the onions, grate the cheese, and set aside.
  4. Heat the oil in a second skillet. Have the corn tortillas ready.
  5. Putting the enchiladas together is just a series of steps. And if you're the kind of cook that freaks out when the kitchen gets a little messy, you might want to consider finding a good Tex-Mex restaurant instead.
  6. Pick up a tortilla with tongs and place it into the hot oil for about 15 seconds. This first step is to soften the tortilla.
  7. Remove the tortilla from the oil, letting the excess oil drip back into the skillet.
  8. Dip the tortilla into the chili gravy, coating both sides.
  9. Place the now-coated tortilla in the 9x13-inch pan, put a handful of grated cheese and onion on one edge of the tortilla, and roll it up.
  10. Place the rolled tortilla flat-side-down in one end of the pan.
  11. Repeat ths process with the remaining 11 tortillas. The pan should be full.
  12. Pour the remaining Chili Gravy on top of the enchiladas.
  13. Sprinkle the enchiladas generously with the remaining grated cheese.
  14. Bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Serve at once.
  15. Makes four servings of three enchiladas each. Garnish with chili gravy, Crema or sour cream. On the side, serve Mexican Red Rice and Refried Beans
