Yum, turkey leftovers! I was tired of the turkey soup from Thanksgiving so I decided to make enchiladas. Unfortunately I was being a bit lazy and used store bought enchilada sauce. You can see in the first photo that my tortillas look pretty greasy. They were! I was going from childhood memories and not a recipe and forgot the obvious of draining the tortillas after frying them to soften them up. However, I did remember how to stuff and roll them, easy. And, of course, pouring the can of sauce over them was easy also. After a thirty minute bake in the oven they came out bubbling and delicious. I think I am going to have to make them again because I want to try a few different things. One, I want to make my own sauce. This one just didn't have the flavor I was thinking of. Second, I think I would caramelize the onions before putting them in the enchiladas. The third change I need some help on. How would you soften up the tortillas without all of the oil? I would really rather not fry them at all if I can help it. Any ideas would be a great help. Thanks.

Kelly,
I usually just put a little sauce in a skillet and turn it on low so the sauce gets warm, but not too hot, then I dip my tortilla in the sause for a few seconds to warm and soften up.Then fill it with the stuff. Hope that helps, it works well for us.
Thanks LaShaunna. Hope you are having a Happy New Year!
