Ingredients for Awesome White Cheese And Chocolate Enchiladas

  • 8-10 corn tortillas
  • Mexican Blend Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Dried Oregano
  • Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 4 ounces (113g) semisweet chocolate, chopped

How to Make Awesome White Cheese And Chocolate Enchiladas

  1. **Make the Sauce:** Saute 1 medium onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of oil until tender.
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Saute for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons chili powder until the onion mixture is fully coated.
  5. Slowly whisk in 2 cups vegetable stock until smooth.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes).
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces (113g) of semisweet chocolate, chopped, until melted and smooth.
  8. **Assemble the Enchiladas:** Lightly grease a large skillet. Steam or warm corn tortillas individually for about 15-20 seconds per side until pliable. You can do this in the skillet, microwave, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds.
  9. Fill each tortilla with approximately 1/2 cup of your favorite white cheese (shredded Monterey Jack, queso fresco, or a blend).
  10. Roll up the filled tortillas and place them seam-down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  11. Sprinkle the enchiladas with 2 tablespoons chopped green onions.
  12. Pour the chocolate sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  13. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  14. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
