Ingredients:
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 1/4 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 onion, minced
Instructions:
-
Optional Step: If desired, heat the sour cream and dip each tortilla in warm sour cream one at a time. However, it can be messy, so an alternative method is to soften the tortillas in the microwave.
-
Add 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of minced onion onto each tortilla.
-
Roll up the tortillas, ensuring they are tightly packed.
-
Arrange the rolled tortillas side by side in a small casserole dish.
-
Pour the remaining sour cream over the rolled tortillas. If you didn’t heat the sour cream in step one, you can do so now to ensure it pours more evenly over the enchiladas. Alternatively, you can simply pour all of the sour cream in this step for simplicity.
-
Sprinkle the top of the enchiladas with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
Serve the Enjococadas hot, garnished with additional minced onion or chopped cilantro if desired, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding cooked chicken or beef to the filling mixture before rolling up the tortillas.
- For a spicier kick, incorporate diced green chilies or jalapenos into the filling.
- Make it a complete meal by serving with a side of homemade refried beans and spicy Mexican rice.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
This Enjococadas recipe is a surefire way to impress your family and friends with its creamy texture, cheesy goodness, and delightful flavors. Enjoy creating this easy and delicious dish in the comfort of your own kitchen! 🌮🧀
