Recipe
1.I do not use a tradional method for making enchiladas, but the
effect is the same and we all love this dish. Here goes:
2.Put two cups of chopped turkey, shredded beef or pork in a mixing
bowl and add 1/2 cup red chili sauce and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
(You can freeze the filling and tortillas separately and assemble
later or you can assemble and freeze.)
3.Place 1/4 cup of this mixture on to a tortilla and roll up, placing
seam side down in a pyrex dish. Do this until all of the mixture is
used up, this should yield 8 enchiladas. (I use a pyrex casserole
dish with a plastic cover that can go from freezer to oven by just
taking off the lid and adding foil.) Freeze enchiladas and sauce
separately so that the enchiladas do not get soggy. Freeze extra
cheese (about 1/2-1 cup) in a small ziploc baggie (you can tape this
onto the pyrex dish).
4.To serve: Preheat oven to 350. Defrost red chili sauce. Using a
pasty brush, "paint" the enchiladas, completely covering them with all
of the sauce. Top with cheese and bake until thoroughly heated, about
30 minutes. When done, top with tomatoes, lettuce and olives.
Note: I serve this with refried beans, homemade or store bought. I
put them in a casserole and put a little of the red chili sauce and
cheddar cheese on them. This dish winds up tasting like the authentic
Mexican restaurants that I grew up around! Que magnifico!
