\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Instructions:<\/h2>\n

Step 1: Prepare Sauces<\/h4>\n

Red Sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remove stems\/seeds from dried chile pods and toast lightly (optional).<\/p>\n

Simmer in water for 10 min, then blend with garlic, cumin, and a pinch of salt until smooth.<\/p>\n

Strain if needed for smooth texture.<\/p>\n

Green Sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heat oil or butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour to form a roux.<\/p>\n

Stir in chopped green chile, broth, garlic powder, cumin, and salt.<\/p>\n

Simmer until thickened, about 5\u20137 minutes.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Soften Tortillas<\/h4>\n

Lightly fry tortillas in oil until just soft (do not crisp). Drain on paper towels.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Assemble Enchiladas<\/h4>\n

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n

Fill each tortilla with shredded cheese and chopped onion, roll, and place in a baking dish.<\/p>\n

Half of the enchiladas should be topped with red sauce, the other half with green sauce (\u201cChristmas style\u201d).<\/p>\n

Sprinkle extra cheese over the top.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Bake<\/h4>\n

Cover with foil and bake for 15\u201320 minutes or until bubbling and melted.<\/p>\n

Garnish with chopped onion, cilantro, or crema if desired.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf1f Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n

You can make these ahead and freeze them before baking. Also great with leftover turkey or shredded chicken added to the cheese filling.<\/p>\n
