Cheese Enchiladas with Chili Gravy
Ingredients:
– 12 corn tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup diced onion
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
– Optional toppings: sour cream, sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the diced onions and garlic, cooking until they become soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper over the onion mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
4. Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Allow the mixture to simmer and thicken for about 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Take a corn tortilla and place a handful of shredded cheddar cheese in the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
6. Once all the tortillas are rolled up, pour the chili gravy evenly over the top, making sure to cover each enchilada completely.
7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.
8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
9. Serve the Cheese Enchiladas with Chili Gravy hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or fresh cilantro.
Enjoy these cheesy and comforting enchiladas with your family and friends for a delightful meal that will warm both your heart and your stomach.
