Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Enchiladas:

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

For the Chili Gravy:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chili Gravy: In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the flour and chili powder, cooking for a few minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add the garlic powder, cumin, and oregano to the pan, then slowly whisk in the broth until smooth. Simmer the gravy for about 10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt to taste.
  3. Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spoon a little chili gravy into the bottom of a baking dish. Dip each tortilla in the remaining gravy, fill with cheese, and roll up. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.
  4. Pour the remaining chili gravy over the enchiladas and top with any remaining cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize these enchiladas by adding cooked chicken, beef, or beans to the filling.
