SOUR CREAM ENCHILADA SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix together sour cream, green onions 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Heat enchilada sauce in a separate skillet or saucepan. Using tongs, fry tortillas one at a time, for only about five to ten seconds per side (don't allow to crisp.) Remove from oil, then dunk tortilla in enchilada sauce. Lay tortilla on a plate, then spoon a good two or three tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll tortilla, then place face down in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture. (If there's any sour cream mixture left over, use it as a dip for tortilla chips!)Cover the dish with the remaining cheese, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly. Serve immediately. Place a dollop of sour cream on each serving, then sprinkle on sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Melt the butter/margarine in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add chicken broth and water; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in sour cream and 2 chopped jalapeno peppers. Pour half of the sour cream sauce into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Set aside dish and remaining sour cream sauce.
• Fry tortillas, one at a time, in 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet 5 seconds on each side or just until tortillas are softened; add additional oil, if necessary. Drain on paper towels. If you'd like to cut calories, you can soften the corn tortillas in water. Just bring water to a simmer in a skillet. Then dip each tortilla in the water, one at a time, for 1 to 2 seconds on each side or just until softened.

Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top; bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve with enchilada relish, below:.
