  • 350°F

Preheat the oven to 350°F and oil a 13×7 or 13×9-inch baking dish. In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. If you taste the sauce now, you may find the raw 2 dientes de ajo flavor overpowering. Don't worry, it will mellow out thanks to the 2 tbsp jugo de limón and after spending time in the oven.

Uses

  • Oven
  • Baking Dish
  • Food Processor
  • Blender
  • Olive Oil
  • Hot Pepper Sauce
  • Medium

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the 1 tbsp aceite de oliva and chopped cebolla amarilla pequeña. Sauté for a few minutes, until the 1 cebolla amarilla pequeña starts to turn translucent and starts lightly browning around the edges. Add the 8 onzas de espinaca congelada and 8 onzas de maíz congelado and cook until warmed through and the juices have mostly evaporated. Add the 1 lata (15 onzas) de frijoles negros and 1 pequeña lata (7 onzas) de chiles verdes picados and cook until warmed through. Remove from heat and pour in ½ cup enchilada sauce and 1 cup queso Jack rallado. Mix and add Sal and pimienta to taste.

Uses

  • Skillet
  • 8 onzas de pimientos rojos asados en frasco, escurridos (el mío vino en un frasco de 12 onzas)
  • Lime Juice
  • Small Can Diced Green Chiles
  • Hot Pepper Sauce
  • Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1–1 min

Gently warm the 8 a 10 tortillas de maíz so they don't break when you roll them. The easiest way to do this is to place them in a stack in a microwave under a damp paper towel and microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds. Leave the paper towel on top to keep them warm as you roll. Working one at a time, lump a scant ½ cup filling down the middle of each 8 a 10 tortillas de maíz and roll snugly. Place it with the seam side down in your baking dish. Repeat with the remaining a 10 tortillas de maíz, placing each rolled enchilada snugly next to the other until you have used all your 8 a 10 tortillas de maíz.

Uses

  • Microwave
  • Baking Dish
  • Corn Tortilla
  • 20–25 min

Pour the enchilada sauce down the middle of your row of enchiladas and gently shimmy the pan a bit to help distribute it. Sprinkle the 1 cup queso Jack rallado down the middle. Bake the enchiladas for 20 to 25 minutes until the 1 cup queso Jack rallado is melted, the enchiladas are warmed through, and the top of the a 10 tortillas de maíz** are just crisp. Let the enchiladas cool for five minutes while you dice the 3 a 4 aguacates maduros (dice as many as you need for this meal and save the rest for leftovers). Combine them in a mixing bowl with chopped hojas de cilantro picadas and toss with a big squeeze of jugo de limón. Divide the enchiladas onto plates, top with a healthy amount of the avocado mix, and serve.

Uses

  • Hot Pepper Sauce
  • Monterey Jack Cheese
