Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 onion (chopped, substitute with onion powder for picky eaters!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons chili powder (use more or less depending on your own preference)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup flour
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1lb cheddar cheese (shredded)
Directions
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
Grate cheese and chop onion. Set aside. Fry tortillas in 1/4 cup oil to soften (don't over-fry!). Drip on paper towels. Set aside.
Step 3
Remove pan from heat. Add 1/4 cup oil to oil in frying pan.
Step 4
Add chili powder, salt, garlic powder, water and flour in a bowl or salad dressing shaker. Mix until smooth - no lumps!
Step 5
Put pan back on high heat. Add mixture, stirring constantly. Don't let it get stiff - add water if necessary. If "slimy" looking, add more flour. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Drag tortillas through sauce and place in baking pan. Add cheese, onions and meat if desired; roll. Pour remaining sauce over rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
Step 7
Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
