🕒 Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
🍽 Servings: 6

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can (14 ounces) tomato puree
  • 1 – 2 chopped peppers (adjust according to preferred spice level)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 6-inch corn tortillas
  • Lettuce, shredded (for garnish)
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Sauce:

    • In a saucepan, cook 1/2 cup chopped onion in 1/4 cup water until tender, about 5 minutes.
    • Stir in 1 1/4 cups of tomato puree, chopped peppers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 10 minutes.
    • Uncover and simmer for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
  2. Cook Filling:

    • In a skillet, cook ground pork and 1 cup chopped onion until pork is browned and onion is tender.
    • Drain excess fat from the skillet.
    • Stir in remaining 1/2 cup tomato puree, diced potatoes, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
    • Heat through and set the filling aside.
  3. Prepare Batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
    • In another bowl, beat egg yolks and 1 tablespoon water until well combined.
    • Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the yolks and beat for about 3 minutes until thick and lemon-colored.
    • Fold in the beaten egg whites to create the batter.
  4. Assemble Enchiladas:

    • Spoon about 1/4 cup of the prepared filling onto each corn tortilla and roll them up.
    • Dip the filled tortillas into the prepared batter, ensuring the ends are well-covered.
  5. Fry Enchiladas:

    • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Carefully place the dipped enchiladas into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
    • Once fried, drain the enchiladas on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  6. Final Assembly:

    • Reheat the prepared sauce.
    • Arrange the fried enchiladas on a serving platter.
    • Pour the heated sauce over the enchiladas.
    • Garnish with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.
