Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups homemade enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup neutral frying oil, such as vegetable or canola
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1/3 cup onion, fine diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Spray two oven-safe plates with nonstick spray. Warm red sauce in a medium pot on the stove.
  • In a small frying pan, heat frying oil until shimmering but not smoking.
  • Use tongs to place a corn tortilla in oil. Cook for about 10 seconds, flip, and cook for another 10 seconds. Your tortillas should still be soft.
  • Place on a paper towel lined plate while finishing the rest of the tortillas.
  • Dip a tortilla into the enchilada sauce so that both sides are coated. Place on serving plate. Sprinkle onions and cheese on top. Repeat with three more tortillas (for a total of four), ending with a layer of just cheese on top.
  • Repeat on the next serving plate.
  • Bake both plates for 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce and serve.
