| not to overcook it but it doesn't seem to matter that much. It should
not be too wet, but if you use a slotted spoon when spooning it out
even if it has go a lot of sauce in it will be OK
How to put it all together:
Warm the tortillas. I use packet ones but if you've got lots of
patience and time, not to mention a recipe you could use you own!
Into the centre of each put an equal slice of the refried beans. If
it's really crumbly you need to pour a (little) oil onto it and mix.
Then put mince on top. Fold the tortillas up from one end, then from
either side to form a packet. Pin it shut with cocktail sticks. There
are loads of ways to fold a tortilla, you could even just roll it up,
so do whatever you find best.
Arrange the tortillas on a ***GREASED!!!!!*** baking tray, one with
quite high sides is best. Greased foil lining is always a good idea
too. Spoon the salsa over the enchiladas artistically.
If you find that the salsa doesn't go very far it is
good to mix in some tomatoes, then if theres any left over it can be
served seperately. Grill or ovenbake until the tortillas are golden
but not really crispy on the edges.
Serve with shredded lettuce, hot taco sauce, nachos (these can be
homemade too - email me for the recipe), tortilla chips, avocado,
anything at all! If you can't manage 2 tortillas each
then they make an excellent lunch the next day, if kept in the fridge
overnight. Just warm in the microwave until hot enough. They could
probably be frozen for a while too, but we always eat them before that
becomes necessary.
