2 Tbs. Red chili Powder
1/2 Cup Flour
2 Cups Tomato Juice
1 1/2 Tbs. Salad Oil
2 Onions ground very fine
Salt
Mix chili powder and flour with a bit of water to make a smooth paste. Add other ingredients and simmer until thick. Dip softened tortillas in the sauce and put a spoonful of filling on each. Roll like a jelly roll and place in an
oiled oblong pan. Place a slice of cheese on each enchilada and cover with sauce. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Place on a plate and garnish with chopped cheese on top and chopped lettuce, cilantro, avacado and tomatoes on the side Sour cream is a nice topping as well.
The best way to soften tortillas is with a "La Tortilla Oven". www.latortillaoven.com This is a round insulated fabric sleeve in which tortillas can be heated to perfect in the microwave in seconds. It is an indispenseable device for making enchiladas, taquitos or tacos.
