The sauce on these Red Sauce Cheese Enchiladas is to die for! My family really likes these enchiladas because they are super simple and can be made last minute.
Surprisingly, even though these are only filled with cheese, they are actually really filling and we always have leftovers. These are just such a great meal for meatless Monday or any day of the week.
Ingredients:
2 Tbl. olive oil
4 Tbl. flour
2 Tbl. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. curry powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. southwest chipotle seasoning (found at target)
1 14 oz. can chicken broth
7-8 flour tortillas
Cheddar cheese for filling
Parsley flakes or cilantro for garnish
Directions:
Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl. Add oil to pan on medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the rest of the seasonings and mix. It will be clumpy. Add in the chicken broth and whisk until the clumps are gone. Heat for 10-15 minutes or until thickened.
After you have made your sauce, pour enough to coat the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Roll the cheese up into the tortillas and place in the pan. Pour remaining sauce over the tortillas. Top with additional cheese and parsley flakes or cilantro if desired.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Enjoy!
