2 onions chopped
Shortening
2 cups coarsely chopped lettuce (optional)

Recipe
1. Heat 1/2 inch of shortening in a heavy pan at medium-high heat.
2. Quickly dip each tortilla into the shortening to soften. Drain on absorbent towels.
3. Assemble the enchiladas by placing 1/4 cup sauce on each plate, followed by a tortilla placed on it, (tortilla can be rolled after filling), a little cream sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, and onion. Repeat twice. Top with remaining red sauce, then remaining cream sauce.
4. Place in 350°F oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Garnish with lettuce.
NOTE: Traditionally, enchiladas are topped with a fried or poached egg before serving.
