CHEESE ENCHILADAS W/SOUR CREAM SAUCE
This is an enchilada dish I made for my grandparents when they came to visit us several years ago. They still rave about it. I have made it quite a few times since. The sour cream sauce is always a big hit.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Combine sour cream, soup, and chilis (and/or jalapenos) in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
- When sauce is well heated, set aside.
- Tortillas (step 1): Completely, but lightly cover both sides of one tortilla with shortening (Don't be afraid to use your hands), then place the tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
- Tortillas (step 2): Completely but lightly cover one side of the next tortilla and place it atop the first tortilla, shortening side up.
- Repeat Step 2 until all tortillas are stacked, then microwave the entire stack on high for 4-5 minutes.
- Allow to cool.
- Combine shredded cheese and chopped onion in a bowl and gently mix together using your hands.
- Lightly cover the bottom of a baking dish with some of the sauce (This will prevent the tortillas from becoming stiff and chewy as they cook).
- Place a generous portion of the cheese/onion mixture onto a tortilla, then roll the tortilla like a cigar (not too tight though).
- Place into the baking dish, seam side down to prevent the enchilada from unrolling.
- Repeat until all tortillas have been stuffed, rolled, and placed into the baking dish (it may take more than one baking dish for 20 enchiladas).
- Cover the enchiladas with the sour cream sauce and any leftover cheese/onion stuffing.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
