Enchiladas Verdes (Green Enchiladas)

Title: Enchiladas Verdes (Green Enchiladas)

Categories: Mexican

Yield: 4 servings

12 ea Corn tortillas

4 tb Oil or lard

1 ea Clove garlic

1 tb Flour

4 c Green chili sauce

1 ea Salt to taste

2 c Grated cheddar or jack chees

1/4 c Minced onion

Fry tortillas in fat to soften. Heat garlic in oil then discard garlic.

Blend flour into oil. Stir in green chili sauce and heat thoroughly. If

mixture is too thick, add water. Add salt to taste. Layer tortillas with

sauce, minced onion and cheese on oven-proof plates. Sprinkle cheese on

top. Use 3 tortillas for each serving. Place in oven to allow cheese to

melt. NOTE: For a real New Mexican touch place a poached or fried egg on

top. The egg seems to help meld the flavors. --
