Enchiladas

I know I shared with you guys a recipe of a Mexican dish the other day and today I will share another. Today, I will teach you guys how to make enchiladas. Remember there are many recipes for enchiladas but I will show you the way my family and I make them. Here are the ingredients you will need: corn tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, chile de arbol (main ingredient for the sauce of the enchiladas. Found where they sell Mexican products), pepper (make sure you use the whole pepper not the ground one. The whole pepper look like little balls.), queso fresco, sour cream, salt, a clove of garlic, a little piece of onion, oil, some type of spicy sauce and water. The first step you have to do is boil the tomatoes with the chile de arbol for at least 5-7 minutes or wait for them to soften up. While these two ingredients are being boiled you can start chopping the lettuce into little thin strips and tomato into little dice (make sure the lettuce and tomatoes have been washed). By the time you’re done chopping the lettuce and the tomato the ingredients that were boiling must be done, take them away from the heat. In your blender blend the boiled chiles and tomatoes, add a pinch of salt, the piece of garlic, two whole peppers and the piece or onion and add just a little bit of water (I didn’t give specific measures because everything is according to your taste). While blending these ingredients, which will be the red sauce for the enchiladas, in a pan add enough oil but not a lot and make sure the pan is a medium-low heat. Once the chile for the enchiladas is ready, your oil is hot and you have your corn tortillas, dip one of the tortillas into the red sauce for the enchiladas and right away put the tortilla in the oil. You will notice the enchilada is done when the tortilla is soft. Keep repeating the process until you’re done with the tortillas. Now place however many enchiladas you’re going to eat on a plate and add the chopped lettuce and tomatoes, add the queso fresco, sour cream and the spicy sauce. Now you’re done with your enchiladas and it’s time to eat, Bon appétit!
