my mama's enchiladas

this is a taste that i grew up on.
it's funny how a recipe can stir up so many good memories.
my mom has been making these enchiladas for years.
and if you've ever had enchiladas with chili sauce at a restaurant, i'm certain that this is the recipe.
you won't believe how easy this is, and so delicious, i can't get them out of my head.


 you will need:

a 40 oz can of Wolf brand chili, no beans
18 white corn tortillas
 a large yellow onion, diced very small
(the more onion in this dish, the better, in my opinion)
a large bag of shredded mixed mexican cheeses

pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

in a large rectangular glass baking dish, spread a thin layer of chili.
you do not need to grease this dish first.
add a layer of 6 tortillas, they will overlap a bit.
spread a layer of chili, throw on some onions, and then cheese.
you will be able to make 3 layers total.
bake uncovered for about 30 minutes.
remove from oven and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
serve with hot sauce, sour cream, and a side of shredded lettuce or cabbage.
this is delicious as leftovers, as it sets up well, and the tortillas really absorb everything.

enjoy.

love,
nicolle
