Enchiladas: six 6 inch corn tortillas oil for frying 6 ounces browned ground beef 2 tsp. taco seasoning 3/4 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
For Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add milk and bring to a boil. Add roasted peppers, both Cheddar cheeses, green onions, cilantro, cayenne, cumin and salt and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring constantly, until Cheddar is melted. Remove sauce from the heat and cool completely. Stir sour cream into the cooled sauce until well blended.
For Enchiladas: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil to 350 degrees in a deep skillet. Quickly dip tortillas in hot oil to soften. Drain on paper towels. Place tortillas flat. Stir together browned ground beef and taco seasoning. Divide beef mixture between tortillas. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Pepper Jack cheese over beef. Roll up tortillas tightly and secure with a toothpick. Fry enchiladas about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Transfer fried enchiladas to a baking pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake about 2 minutes until cheese is melted. Sprinkle cilantro over and serve with sauce.
Makes 6 enchiladas.
