AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS
This is the real thing! Corn tortillas are dipped in a home made sauce, fried, filled with Mexican queso fresco, then topped with sour cream, lettuce and tomato. My mother in law is from Mexico and taught me to make this delicious dish! Serve with authentic refried beans, it has a taste different from the norm--so good!

Steps:
- Snap the tops off of the dried chilies, and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water, and place chilies into a food processor or blender with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth. Press sauce through a strainer, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Soak each tortilla in the sauce, then place in the hot oil. Turn over almost immediately, and fry for about 5 seconds on the other side. Remove to a plate that is lined with paper towels. The easiest way to do this is to fry the tortillas and stack them directly on top of each other until you have fried them all. This will keep the tortillas pliable until you are ready to fill them.
- Take one fried tortilla at a time, and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the queso fresco. Roll up, and place seam side down on a plate. Place three of these on each plate. Top in the following order: Start with a layer of sour cream, then a small handful of lettuce, three tomato slices, 2 more tablespoons of queso fresco, and finally, 1 tablespoon of green onions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cook and stir ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and enchiladas and sauce are bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

The History of Enchiladas
Enchiladas have a rich history that dates back to the Mayan Civilization. Back then, enchiladas were made with corn tortillas filled with small fish and a hot sauce made from chili peppers. Over the years, enchiladas have evolved to include a variety of fillings, including chicken, beef, cheese, and vegetables.

- Ground beef or chicken
- Cheddar cheese
- Enchilada sauce
- Onion
- Garlic
- Cumin

Preparation
Prepare the enchilada sauce by heating olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onions and cook for two minutes until they are fragrant. Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and stir well. Add the enchilada sauce, and let it simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
In a separate pan, cook the ground beef or chicken until brown. Drain any excess oil.
Assembly
To assemble the enchiladas, preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with oil. Add a ladle of the enchilada sauce to the bottom of the greased dish.
Take a corn tortilla and place a spoonful of the cooked meat in the center of it. Add a pinch of shredded cheddar cheese on top. Roll the tortilla with the contents and place it seam side down in the greased baking dish. Repeat this process until you have made all of your enchiladas.
