Ingredients

  • canola oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
  • 1 can (28 ounces) mild red enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup sliced green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 12 corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. Heat Canola Oil in a small skillet on low to med-low heat.
  • In a medium saucepan heat enchilada sauce on medium-low heat.
  • Mix together sour cream, green onion and 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, cumin and cayenne pepper.
  • Using tongs, fry tortillas one at a time, for about 5 to 10 seconds. (Don't allow them to crisp). Remove from oil and then dunk tortilla into the enchilada sauce.
  • Lay tortilla onto a plate, spoon 3 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll tortilla, then place seam side down in a 9×13 inch baking pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture. Cover all the enchiladas in the pan evenly with remaining cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or hot and bubbly. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve enchiladas with a dollop of sour cream and extra sliced green onion, if desired. Enjoy!
