The Real Deal Cheese Enchiladas
- 6 arbol chiles, dried peppers
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 34 cup water
- 14 teaspoon oregano
- 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- 18 (6 inch) corn tortillas
- 3 cups queso fresco, crumbled
- Snap the tops off of the dried chilies, and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover.
- Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Drain the water, and place chilies into a food processor or blender with the garlic and salt.
- Puree until smooth.
- Press sauce through a strainer, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Soak each tortilla in the sauce, then place in the hot oil.
- Turn over almost immediately, and fry for about 5 seconds on the other side.
- Remove to a plate that is lined with paper towels.
- The easiest way to do this is to fry the tortillas and stack them directly on top of each other until you have fried them all.
- This will keep the tortillas pliable until you are ready to fill them.
- Take one fried tortilla at a time, and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the queso fresco.
- Roll up, and place seam side down in a baking dish.
- Place in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 8 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Garnish as you wish and serve warm.
