Most New Mexicans don't roll their enchiladas. This is certainly a less time consuming way of making them with the same great results. Sometimes they even add a fried egg on top of each serving. You may add additional meat, cheese or vegetables if you desire. Just remember to bake as soon as assembled because they get soggy if they sit too long. Prep time does not include making the chile sauce.
Ingredients:
3 cups new mexico red chili sauce
12 corn tortillas
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 1/2 cups mild white cheese or 2 1/2 cups goat cheese, divided use
Directions:
1. Oil a 9-inch square baking dish.
2. Dip tortillas in the red chile sauce, to make pliable, and place 4 on the bottom of the dish.
3. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup onions.
4. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese.
5. Repeat layers 2 more times, ending with cheese.
6. Bake at 350ºF.
7. for 30 minutes, or until hot and the cheese is golden.
