Red Cheese Enchiladas

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Warm the tortillas in a bit of oil or microwave them until soft and flexible.
3. Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish.
4. Add a handful of cheese (and onion, if using) to each tortilla.
5. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
7. Top generously with more shredded cheese.
8. Sprinkle dried oregano over the top for added aroma and flavor.
9. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

Variations

• Add cooked shredded chicken or beef for extra protein.
• Mix in sautéed spinach or mushrooms with the cheese filling.
• Substitute green enchilada sauce for a tangier twist.
• Use queso fresco or Oaxaca cheese for a more authentic flavor.

Tips

• Always warm tortillas before rolling to avoid cracks.
• For extra saucy enchiladas, add an additional half cup of sauce over the top.
• Cover lightly with foil during baking if you prefer less browning on the cheese.
• Serve with cilantro, crema, avocado slices, or pickled jalapeños for added freshness.
