Enchiladas Mona Luisa
- 1 (19 ounce) can enchilada sauce (read *NOTE)
- 1 -2 dried california chile
- 1 dozen corn tortilla
- 12 large yellow onion, finely minced (or grated)
- 1 14 cups dry parmesan cheese (more or less)
- 34 cup finely shredded green cabbage ("a touch" as Mona says)
- olive oil, for frying
- *NOTE: Specifically, Mona uses Las Palmas Red Enchilada Sauce (Medium).
- For a less spicy version, use Las Palmas Red Enchilada Sauce (Mild).
- First, she soaks 1 or 2 California chilies in water.
- (She does this for two reasons: add more flavor to the sauce and "stretches" the meal.)
- Drain the chilies (*saving* the soaking liquid).
- Remove seeds and membrane.
- Puree the chilies with the soaking water in a blender until smooth.
- Add to the canned enchilada sauce.
- Also, you will have more sauce than is needed for the recipe.
- Save and freeze for later use.
- Heat up the enchilada sauce in a non-reactive sauce pan.
- In a large bowl combine the onion and dried Parmesan cheese.
- Place the cabbage in another bowl.
- Heat up some olive oil in a skillet on medium heat.
- Take one tortilla and lightly drench in the enchilada sauce.
- DO NOT allow the tortillas to soak in the sauce, or they will fall apart.
- Fry each tortilla for 1 minute.
- Flip over and cook another 30 seconds.
- Transfer the tortilla to a plate and add a scant 1/2 tablespoon shredded cabbage (give or take).
- Then add a tablespoon of the cheese/onion mixture.
- Do not overstuff the enchiladas.
- Roll up in a neat little bundle, place seam side down and transfer to a serving platter.
- Repeat.
- Add more olive oil to skillet as needed.
- *Transfer enchiladas to a serving platter and garnish with any remaining cheese/onion mixture.
- Enjoy a slice of Heaven on Earth!
- *Special Note: you read and followed the directions correctly.
- These enchiladas are *not* baked.
