How to Make Super Easy Cheesy Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat vegetable oil or lard in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each tortilla briefly into the hot oil, just to soften (1-2 seconds per tortilla). Be careful not to overcook!
- Drain tortillas on paper towels.
- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
- If using optional ingredients, combine them with the cheese in a bowl.
- Fill each tortilla with the cheese (and optional ingredients).
- Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
- Reserve about 1/2 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle with the reserved cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the sauce is heated through.
