las enchiladas

as promised, the traditional christmas enchiladas...
yum!
basically, grate up a giant pile of cheddar and jack cheese, add some sliced black olives, sliced jalapenos, and a diced onion. now, get some corn tortillas and some enchilada sauce (my mother's "special recipe"= sauce from a can. we've never made homemade sauce). dip each tortilla in some sauce, then cook in a frying pan for about 2 minutes on each side, until it's still soft, but just starting to get crispy. place in a baking pan and fill with a scoop of the cheese mixture. roll up, and place in pan seam side down. continue until you have as many enchiladas as you want, or have used all the cheese mixture. top with more sauce and olives. bake about 40 minutes at 350 degrees F.

You visited my blog yesterday and so I thought I would come see what your blog is all about! I am a college student too who loves to cook healthy things - we have that in common! I went from the East Coast to the West Coast and you both did the opposite! Your enchiladas look delicious. Karina at Gluten free Goddess has a WONDERFUL pineapple chicken enchiladas - you should try them! I will hopefully be blogging about them soon.
