Ingredients:
1 (10 count) packages corn tortillas ( the small ones)
1 (8 ounce) bags shredded cheese, of your choice
3 tablespoons shortening or 3 tablespoons oil or 3 tablespoons lard
1 (10 ounce) cans red enchilada sauce or 1 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
1 (4 ounce) cans green chilies, diced (optional)
1 medium onions, chopped finely (optional)
1 cup shredded chicken, cooked (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325-350 degrees.
Heat the 3 T. fat ingredient in a medium hot skillet.
Dip each tortilla into the fat to soften. Leave each tortilla in the fat for only a second or two. Too long will cause the tortillas to rip. Drain on paper towels.
Lightly grease a 13×9 baking dish. Pour a very scant amount of the enchilada sauce on the bottom just to coat.
Fill each tortilla with the cheese. Fold over with fold side down and place in the dish. Reserve some of the cheese to top the enchiladas.
After all enchiladas have been filled, pour remaining sauce over them.
Sprinkle with reserved cheese and bake until sauce is bubbly.
If using optional ingredients, mix all with cheese in a bowl. Fill the tortillas with the mix and proceed with the other steps.
