Three Cheese Enchiladas: 10/10/05
Last night I made enchiladas. Here's the recipe:
Sauce
- 1/2 an onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, diced
- six cloves of garlic, diced
- 1 can of green chilies, diced
- 1 can (16 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (32 oz) tomato sauce
- 3 Tbs ricotta cheese
- dash of oregano for taste
Filling
- 10 corn tortillas
- 10 Tbs ricotta cheese (one scoop per tortilla)
- 2 cups American cheddar cheese (grated)
- 1/2 cup sharp white cheddar cheese (grated)
- 10 sprigs of cilantro
Preparation:
Preheat the oven 350° F
In a wok or deep pot, saute the onion, cilantro, garlic and chilies. Once the onions and
garlic have turned color, add in the tomatoes and reduce heat. Cook for about ten minutes
and then add the tomato sauce and stir in the ricotta cheese. Cover and simmer for another
ten minutes.
Microwave the tortillas for about a minute to soften them. Layer the bottom of the casserole
dish with some of the sauce. Then add one table spoon of ricotta cheese and a scoop of the
cheddar cheese mixture. Add a sprig of cilantro. Wrap tortillas and place seam down in the
sauce. Cover the tortillas with the remaining sauce and cheese.
Cook for 10 minutes to melt the cheese.
Painting Soon:
If the contractors stay on schedule, our building will be high pressure washed tomorrow in
preparation for priming and painting. We will have to bring our garden inside again until
the painting is done. Fortunately the summer heat wave is over so the new plants will probably
survive (assuming the cat doesn't eat them).
