Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Warm 3/4 cup oil in a shallow dish, and separately keep another dish warm for the tortillas.

  3. Dip each of 10-14 corn tortillas in the warm oil for 5-8 seconds until pliable, then transfer to the warming dish.

  4. Pour 2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce into a shallow bowl.

  5. Dip each oiled tortilla into the sauce until coated.

  6. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, place a sauce-coated tortilla, add 2-3 tablespoons of filling (cheese, or chicken/beef topped with cheese) down the middle, fold both sides over, and turn seam-side down.

  7. Repeat this process for all remaining tortillas until the dish is filled.

  8. Pour any remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas.

  9. Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top.

  10. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  11. Let enchiladas rest for 10 minutes before serving.
