Cheese Enchiladas






I was feeling cheese enchiladas that I topped with a can of beef chili.  I made homemade enchilada sauce.


Ingredients

10 small flour tortillas

3 bricks of cheese shredded with the food processor.  I recommend cheddar, colby jack, and pepper jack

2 16 ounce cans fire roasted diced tomatoes

2 4 ounce cans diced green chili

1 15 ounce can tomato sauce

1 onion, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp cilantro

8 ounce sour cream


Make the enchilada sauce first!

Sautee onion and garlic in a large pot.  In a blender puree the diced tomatoes.  Add the pureed tomatoes, tomato sauce, chilis, seasonings to the pot with the onion and garlic.  Bring to a boil, simmer for an hour.

Ladle a layer of sauce in the bottom of your casserole dish.

Add shredded cheese to tortilla, roll, place seem side down in the sauce.

Ladle a layer of sauce over the top of the enchiladas.

Top with remaining cheese.


Topping suggestions: sliced jalapeno, lettuce, tomato, diced onion, cilantro.  I topped them with a bit of canned chili too.  Served with our favorite cilantro lime rice and some refried beans.

Kelsey's Pub and Restaurant Thanksgiving

Kelsey's was one of the few places selling a Thanksgiving for 2 and it was only $75.  It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing with sausage, green bean casserole gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls with a honey butter.  I ordered an additional apple pie too.  It was a perfect amount and I managed to get everything reheated ready to eat in 1 hour.
