Yield - 24 - 26 enchiladas
Ingredients
Sauce
2/3 CUP PEANUT OIL
2 TBSP CHILE POWDER
2 TBSP SPANISH PAPRIKA
1 TBSP CUMIN
½ TSP WHITE PEPPER
½ TSP CAYENNE PEPPER
Stuffing
3 CUPS YELLOW ONIONS (Finely diced)
2 LBS CHEDDAR CHEESE (Shredded)
1 LBS ROASTED ANAHEIM PEPPERS (Chopped)
6 OZ BLACK OLIVES (Chopped)
30 CORN TORTILLAS *
Method
In a shallow bowl mix the sauce ingredients, whip with a whisk or hand blender. Also combine the stuffing ingredients in a stainless steel bowl.
Microwave the wrapped tortillas for 30 to 40 seconds. This will soften them and make them pliable. Dredge a tortilla through the sauce, then place about a ¼ cup of stuffing on top of the sauced tortilla. Roll the tortilla into the traditional enchilada shape. Place the enchilada widthwise and 2 abreast on a parchment lined ½ sized baking sheet. When finished spread any additional sauce on top of the "bones". The tray can be wrapped with film and refrigerated for future use.
When ready to serve, bake uncovered in a 350F oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven when done and allow to cool to the touch.
Alternate Method
¼ CUP JALEPENOS PEPPERS (Chopped fine)
For a spicier stuffing.
Plate Presentation
Use a "Jack-o-Lantern" for a head and arrange the "bones" as ribs on a serving tray.
Chef's Notes:
A great Halloween party treat, that can be eaten with just a paper napkin.
* Additional tortillas are called for since quite often some tortillas are broken or dried out, and are difficult to use.
