What's not to love?! Yum
Yummy.
I have never made these, but if I did... how do I soften the corn tortillas? Do I just put them in the oil until they are wet or do I actually cook them?
Julianna -
Good question!
Put a little bit of oil (just cvoering the bottome) in a skillet and heat it up on low to medium.
You toss a corn tortilla in fo just 2-3 seconds and turn it. It is just to soften the tortilla...you don't want to cook it. If you skip this step, the tortilla rips when you try to wrap it around the filling.
You can use white or yellow corn tortillas.
Or you could steam the tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to soften them up...
Never done the filling with cream cheese, but I'm feeling some enchiladas coming on...
Mmmm. Must add to recipe list. You know why you don't make it more often? Because you like your arteries...
I need those, and don't even care the rest of the dinner table is interested!
These look so good!!
