I have many recipes for enchiladas. This is the recipe that we will be making for Nathan's birthday party. This is actually a recipe that we got from my sister-in-law. I don't measure anything in this recipe. So, use your best judgement. We make a LOT because they warm up very well and can be frozen. It takes two people. One to fry them in the skillet and the other to make and wrap them. Wear old clothing because enchilada sauce stains and grease from frying can pop. The fryer is advised to wear long sleeves.
browned hamburger
chopped fresh mushrooms
chopped onions
Monterrey Colby Jack shredded cheese
large flour tortilla shells
enchilada sauce (poured into pie pan)
chili powder
aluminum foil or wax paper
Brown hamburger. Set aside in bowl. Warm tortilla shells in microwave for about 30 seconds. Heat oil in a medium skillet (we use two skillets). Dip tortilla into pie pan of sauce and coat both sides. Set tortilla on a large plate. Add hamburger, onion, mushrooms, and cheese to the center. Don't fill too full. Wrap like an enchilada. Place in hot oil in skillet and fry until lightly brown. Turn once. Line casserole dish with either aluminum foil or wax paper. Place fried enchilada into lined casserole dish. Sprinkle with a dash of chili powder. Repeat frying procedure until bottom layer is full. Add wax paper (or aluminum foil) and start another layer in dish. We make meat and cheese, then switch to all cheese enchiladas. Add sour cream or salsa, if desired.
*If you make them, you have to invite us over! :)
