Ingredients
4 blue corn tortillasOil to fry tortillas in (calculated with 1T lard absorbed/tortilla -- lard is authentic)3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar1 cup chopped white onion2 servings New Mexico Red Chile Sauce (in my submitted recipes)
Directions
In a small skillet, fry blue corn tortillas one at a time. Layer with paper towels to absorb extra oil.

Place one tortilla in a deep plate. Layer with cheese and onion. Place second tortilla over mixture. Pour chile sauce over the top. Top with extra cheese.

Repeat for second enchilada.

Bake at 350*F for about 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and chile is slightly crispy around edges.

Enjoy with garlic bread (like they do at The Shed) or with flour tortillas to sop up extra sauce.
