New Mexico Stacked Enchiladas - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. hamburger meat optional
  • Cooking oil
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 Jar enchilada sauce (preferred Fresh Chile Co. Fresh Hatch Red Chile or Sun Dried Red Chile Sauce
  • 4 - 6 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 - 4 cups shredded Asadero cheese or Muenster cheese
  • Butter for frying
  • salt
  • 8 large eggs

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet, brown the meat over medium-high heat, if using.
  • In a separate skillet, add a light layer of oil to the bottom of the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add a few tortillas at a time and lightly fry on both sides. Remove from the skillet and keep in a warm place.
  • Add the sauce to a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. If using Fresh Chile Co. Sauce, stir in a little water until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Pour a layer of sauce on the bottom of 4 oven safe dishes. It’s best to use a deeper dish or shallow bowl, to keep all the ingredients in. Sprinkle a generous layer of cheddar cheese on top and top with 1 tortilla. Repeat to create 3 layers, finishing with a generous layer of the Asadero cheese. Top with onion. Note, if using meat, add in between the layers.
  • Place the dishes in the oven and bake at 375 or broil until the cheese has melted and bubbly.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in a little salt. Fry the eggs to desired doneness.
  • Remove the dishes from the oven and top each dish with eggs. Serve warm.
