Mom's Enchiladas were truly Magic.
Whenever any one of us came home
with troubles, Mom would whip up some
enchiladas and the world would be right again!
Oh what comfort she gave us all with her magic enchiladas!
PREPARE RED CHILE Oh what comfort she gave us all with her magic enchiladas!
*12 Mild dried red chile pods-cut tops off, and take seeds out
*Roast chile in oven at 350 10 minutes
*Wash chile throughly under cold water
*Boil chile 20 minutes in 4 cups cold water or until plumps
*Blend throughly, Strain,set aside
MAKE SAUCE
* In skillet brown 5 tabl. flour in 1/4 cup oil
*Add prepared chile and 2 cups water
*Add 2 cloves crushed garlic,salt to taste
*Simmer until chile starts to thicken
ASSEMBLE ENCHILADAS
*Grate 1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese
*Finely chop 1/2 onion
*Fry gently 2 dozen corn tortillas
Slowly add fried tortillas to chile sauce 2 at a time , just to coat. Carefully remove tortillas, sprinkling generously with cheese and onion . Enchiladas can be layered or rolled. Pour extra chile sauce over top. Add extra cheese, serve and feel the MAGIC!
Grandma always made me and Danny feel so special because when we were old enough to eat the real enchiladas (not just the perfectly delicious rolled tortillas with cheese) she would ALWAYS remember to make us a special plate with no onions...makes my mouth water just thinking about those.
