Easy Cheese Enchiladas

Easy Cheese Enchiladas - these enchiladas are extra cheesy and ridiculously simple! They are perfect for a quick weeknight, or meatless Monday meal.

Oh, my stars! Do you see that dish of cheesy goodness right there?  I mean, look at it! Sooooo cheesy and yummy, and (say what?) Mexican! 

Yes, my darling foodies, with the rain blowing in this week, it meant no grilling for Kevin, so this girl is back in the kitchen, and in control of what is hitting our dinner table, and you knowwwwwwwww if I am in control, Mexican food is going to make an appearance ASAP! 

I mean, there has been a serious lack of Mexican inspired food on this blog since, well it has been a long longggg time. Too long in my mind, probably not long enough in Kevin's. All I have to say to that is 

Last week I made my Authentic Homemade Red Chile Enchilada Sauce. I was over the moon excited with how it came out because it has been something I have wanted to make and share with you for a long time. 

Being a Pacific Northwest transplant via Southern California, I have come to love, and get a bit obsessed with at times, salmon, clams, crab, halibut, and all of the gorgeous seafood that I didn't have access to before I moved. However, my heart is always drawn, first and foremost, to the fabulous flavors of Mexico. I grew up on them, and ate them nearly every day for, oh good Lord, for a long long time. 

Now I live in Western Washington and, though I have learned to love the offerings of the area, my little heart craves the flavors I grew up on. Of course, finding "real" Mexican food here is just about impossible! 

I say "just about" because I have not tried any restaurants in Seattle yet. But with my other half's lack of enthusiasm for that cuisine (I still wonder what is wrong with this man), there is no freakin' way that I am going to get him to drive an hour and a half so I can find the best chile relleno, or carne asada *sigh* 

But that is OK because it just spurs me on to create my own recipes, so no driving, no parking, just good Mexican food that he has to eat. Hehe that is my silver lining to the situation.

And, again, he loved these enchiladas. 

I am beginning to think he complains just to complain, 

or to drive me nuts,

It is kinda like living with my kids again. Only he does the dishes without me having to give him an allowance.

INGREDIENTS:

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spoon 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a casserole dish.
3. Place 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and 1 tablespoon of the chopped onion, down the middle of a corn tortilla, and roll it up. Place into the baking dish seam side down. Continue with the remaining 7 corn tortillas.

Chef's Notes

1. Using the soft corn tortillas is what makes this recipe super easy. There is no need to heat the tortillas in oil to make them pliable. If you can not find the soft corn tortillas you can substitute small flour tortillas.
