Recipe for the chiles enchilada, basis for all enchiladas!
Ingredients
– Enough corn tortillas
– 4 ancho chiles and
- 4 guajillo chiles.
– 4 eggs, onion and a chunk of butter.
– 1 cup of grated orange cheddar cheese.
- some extra-virgin olive oil
- your favorite sauce to cover the enchiladas
To prepare this recipe we will first prepare the chiles, we chop them to small bits and clean them; mix them with the cut onion and garlic.
We then add a little bit of that extra-virgin olive oil. At this point we will add the fried eggs this way: simply we can throw in 4 eggs to our chiles/onion mixture, then add a little bit of water.
Mix constantly as the eggs cook so they come out scrambled with the rest of the ingredients.
In a separate pan we fry the tortillas in a little bit of oil, so they become pliable.
With those fried tortillas we wrap them around the filling that we have just prepared. Over this tortilla we pour some sauce, then sprinkle grated cheese and cut onion if we like.
