  • 2. While mixture is melding, fry as many tortillas as you will need for your enchilada. I use a #5 iron skillett. Pat dry with paper towels. When mixture is ready put a small layer of chile mix on the bottom of a pie plate and arrange tortillas on top. Add mixture to the top of tortillas and sprinkle with onions, and cheese. Repeat process until you have at least 4 layers or more. This makes a wonderful pot luck dish. Enjoy! For egg lovers one over easy or med. egg is a wonderful add on to this dish.
