| Procedures: |
For the sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour.
- Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute.
- Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
|
For the meat:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil.
- Brown the ground beef with the onions.
- Drain the fat, and then add the green chilies.
- Add the salt and stir to combine.
- Turn off the heat and set aside.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, lightly fry the tortillas in canola oil just until soft.
- Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
|
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
- Dip each tortilla into the sauce.
- Set the sauce-soaked tortillas on a cookie sheet.
- Onto each tortilla, place some of the meat mixture, black olives and green onions.
- Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar.
- Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
- Place the tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
- Stir the cilantro into the sauce and pour the remaining sauce over the top.
- End with a generous sprinkling of cheese.
- Bake the enchiladas until bubbly, about 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle extra chopped cilantro over the top.
- Serve with beans and/or rice.

| Notes: |
2017-07-15: A total failure. The purchased sauce was acidic and I purchased flour, not corn tortillas. Terrible!
2011-09-23: This gets its first try with the two of us.
