Casa Amestoy Red, Cheese & Chili Enchiladas

Casa Amestoy Red, Cheese and Chili Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 4tbsp oil

  • 8 tbsp flour

  • 6 tbsp Chili Powder

  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1tsp cumin

  • ½ tsp oregano

  • 2, 7oz cans diced green chiles (undrained)

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • Corn tortillas

  • Mexican Cheese

Instructions

1) Add oil to large sauce pan and heat on low-medium. Pour in flour and whisk together and cook

for 1-3 minutes.

2) Add chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and oregano and mix until clumpy about 1-3

minutes. Start adding the chicken broth, whisking the entire time and until there are no more

clumps. Stir in chilis and heat for 15 minutes or until thickened.

3) After you have made the sauce you will want to dip your corn tortillas in the sauce until they are

soft and immediately put it into a large, greased pan.

4) From there you will add cheese (I use the Mexican blend from Raleys), roll it up and push it to

the end of the pan.

5) Continue doing this with your tortillas until your pan is full. Pour the excess sauce over the top

of the rolled-up tortillas and sprinkle the top with more cheese.

6) Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

You can also prepare this in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook. Makes enough for 10-12

average size servings or, 8-10 teenager size servings.
