Ingredients

• 10 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium-sized Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in cumin, salt, and black pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture for topping.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or heating them briefly in a hot skillet. This makes them pliable and easier to roll.

Step 6

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Fill each tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture and a small spoonful of the onion mixture. Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down into the baking dish.

Step 8

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered. Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish the enchiladas with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Pair with sour cream, guacamole, or a side of rice and beans.
