Here’s a family recipe from the Alamilla family that would be perfect for a movie night with family or friends!

Below are the ingredients needed to prepare their homemade recipe for red enchiladas:

Ingredients

– 12 corn tortillas

– 2 cups of red sauce (you can use guajillo chili or ancho chili sauce)

– 2 cooked and shredded chicken breasts

– 1 cup of crumbled fresh cheese

– 1 medium onion, finely chopped

– 1 cup of crema

– Vegetable oil

– Salt to taste

Now for the instructions.

Instructions

1. Prepare the sauce – If you don’t have prepared red sauce, you can make it by soaking 6 guajillo chilies (or ancho chilies) in hot water until they are soft. Then, blend them with 2 garlic cloves, 1/4 of an onion, 1 tomato, and some of the soaking water. Strain the sauce and season with salt to taste.
2. Cover with sauce – Cover the tortilla with  red sauce until it is well covered.
3. Heat the tortillas – In a skillet, heat some vegetable oil and lightly fry each tortilla for a few seconds on each side. This helps prevent the tortillas from breaking when rolled.
4. Fill the tortillas – Place a portion of shredded chicken in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas and place them on a plate or baking dish.
5. Bake (optional) – If you prefer, you can bake the enchiladas at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-15 minutes to heat them through and blend the flavors.
6. Serve – Serve the enchiladas hot, sprinkled with chopped onion, crumbled fresh cheese, and a bit of crema.

Additional Tips:

– You can add other ingredients to the filling, such as cheese, refried beans, or vegetables.

– Serve the enchiladas with rice and beans for a complete meal.

Enjoy!
