We have a local Tex-Mex place in town, Rosie's, it is one of our favorite places to go. If we go to Big Rosie's I order the same thing every time-beef crunchy taco-no tomatoes, Texas enchilada, side salad instead of rice and beans house dressing. I love the Texas enchilada. They are a cheese enchilada with a chili con carne sauce on top with onions and lots of cheese on top. Well this recipe is about as close to those Texas enchiladas as I can find to make at home. Give them a try sometime.
I will say this they aren't pretty but I guess that wasn't the important part this time.
They couldn't be easier to make. I will admit my corn tortillas were not as fresh as I would have liked. They were left over from another recipe a couple of weeks ago. So have fresh torillas and I bet they will look better.
Start by heating up a can of your favorite chili, canned or homemade.
Add 2 oz cream cheese.
While the chili is heating, pour 1/4 cup or so red enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
It will look something like this.
Grate 2 cups cheddar cheese and 1 cup monterey jack cheese
You will want to put the tortillas in the microwave with a damp paper towel on top and heat for about 30 seconds. Now you are ready to start filling them.
But about a 1/2 cup of the mixed cheese in the middle of the tortilla.
Roll and place in the baking dish. Line them up.
Fill the dish.
Stir the chili mixture.
Spoon on top of the tortillas.
This is an important ingredient. Chop an onion.
Sprinkle on top of the chili.
Now put the rest of the cheese on top.
Look at that cheesy goodness. Place in a preheated 350 oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is nice and bubbly.
Let sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
Like I said they didn't look pretty but they sure were good,
