Facebook Cheese Enchiladas

Easy No Bake Cheesy Enchiladas. If you have the cravings for some good cheesy enchiladas but dont want to turn the oven on, microwave small batches instead. that's what resturants do...

this recipe makes abouts 6 enchiladas- 2 orders
what you need
3 tbl corn oil
3 tlb wheat flour
2 tbl chilli powder (3tbl paprika and 1 tbl red chili flake if you dont have chili powder)
2 tbl diced onion
3 corn tortillas- per order
1 tbl salt
1 tbl pepper
1 tbl cumin powder
1 tbl garlic powder
2 cups shreaded longhorn(colby cheese)
1 qt water

Enchilada gravy...
In a large skilet add oil and heat at medium, wisk in flour, a little at a time to make a loose roux. cook flour for about 3-5 minuites then add spices and continue to stir as not to let mix burn. The gravey mix should still be loose before adding the liquid, if it isnt add a tsp more of oil to loosen.

Add liquid in samll batches, aout 1/4 cup initially, then wisk in and add untill the gravy is well blended and slighty more watery...as the gravy cooks it will thicken. and as gravy cools it will aslo thicken, so in skillet it should be slighty more watery.

allow gravy to cool slightly so it can be handled, but not cold. Use a microwavable plate. At the skilet, place a corn tortilla in the gravy, use a spatula to submerge the tortilla totally in the gray, allow the tortilla to absorb the grave=y and warm slightly.

spoon alittle sauce onto plate then remove the tortilla fron gravy and place on plate...add another totilla to gravy. to the tortilla on the plate, add shreaded cheese and a little diced onion, then roll. repeat for all 3 enchis...spoon gravy over all of the enchis...top with more shreaded cheese and onion and zap in the microwave for about 2 minutes on High...

Serve with Spanish rice and a green salad for a quick and resturaunt quality lunch.
