Cheese Enchilada Recipes

Cheese Enchilada Recipes fill cookbooks, piping hot with cheese melting into an awesome enchilada sauce. It really doesn't get any better than this.

The classic cheese enchilada recipes will never mention ground beef or for that matter anything else but cheese as a filling. Long trays are set out at fiesta time in New Mexico and of course a few are hid away for breakfast. Later they'll be enjoyed topped with an egg.

This is Messy Work

That's right. You're going to get a little messy mixing cheese and sauce and rolling tortillas. The best thing to do is to get organized beforehand. Open the sauce, get the ingredients in a line and have plenty of paper towels on hand.

Another thing-RED CHILE STAINS. Wear an apron.

If you have a patient helper ask him-or her-to help. It really is a fun job and I remember generations of mexican women spending hours in my grandmothers kitchen making enchiladas and talking at the speed of light.

Consider using a cooking spray to coat your tortillas instead of frying them. You can view the technique at Cheese Enchiladas Recipe


Make Plenty of Enchiladas

You're ready with a great cheese enchilada recipe. But there is no sense laying out an assembly line to make a single pan of enchiladas. If you use a foil 1/2 size steam table pan you will get eight rolled enchiladas into a pan. This is the perfect sized pan because it will fit in most freezers and it goes right into the oven. When you're done toss the pan. The pan size is 10" x 12".

But 8 enchiladas isn't going to feed anybody who has a serious love for this dish. You might as well make 3 or 4 pans--oh well, at least make two!

Each 16 oz Coyote Trail Enchilada Sauce
will be enough to make about 10 enchiladas--8 in my family.

Remember, you have to coat each side of the corn tortilla and still have enough sauce to pour on top of the finished dish. Then, there's all that licking the spoon action. I'm not kidding either. If you've never had an authentic, old world red chile sauce, do yourself a favor and try this.

Cheese Enchilada Stack

1 doz day-old corn tortillas
1 med onion, minced
6 oz black olives
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
16 oz Coyote Trail Enchilada Sauce
2 cups grated Monterey Jack Cheese
1 cup grated Longhorn cheese

Heat oil and cook tortillas or Spray tortillas
Saute onions in 3 tblsp canola
Coat a tortilla on both sides in Coyote Trail Enchilada Sauce
Lay on a shallow casserole dish, completely lining bottom of dish
Sprinkle onions, olives, cheese, cilantro and 3 tblsp sauce
Repeat process for 3 layers
Top with remaining sauce and cheese
Bake at 350 F for twenty minutes

Options: Add sour cream to top

Blue Corn Enchiladas

Bite into a blue corn tortilla and you're going to experience a whole new set of flavors. Nutty and earthy, these tortillas are normally made without salt in order to keep the blue corn flavor alive. They have more protein, less fat and are perfect for diabetics.

Blue corn is denser than yellow corn and it also has the same antioxidants red wine has. Now we're talking!

Cheese Enchilada Recipes made with blue corn tortillas are normally made flat-New Mexico style, because they are more dense. Learn more about blue corn and use some Blue Corn tortillas for your next cheese enchilada recipes
