Instructions
- Preparation
- To cook the sauce, in a saucepan, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder and spices — then add 1 cup of stock. Place the pot over low heat and slowly whisk in the remaining stock and tomato sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let cook for a few minutes until the sauce thicken slightly. When done, it will should be slightly thick. Enough to coat a spoon.
- Once done, remove from the heat and taste for seasoning. If the sauce is a bit chunky, you may want to put the sauce into a blender and pulse a few times to create a smoother consistency.
- 4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a large baking dish.
- 5. In a skillet, heat on medium 1 tablespoon of lard or oil. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side (or until soft). Keep warm in a towel or a warmer.
- 6. To assemble the enchiladas, take ONE tortilla and place it in the baking dish. pour1/4 cup of the sauce on each tortilla and then add 1/4 cup of the mixed grated cheeses, 1/4 cup diced chicken, and 1 teaspoon of the sauteed onions. Add another tortilla, and add same amount of sauce, cheese, chicken and onions. Add a third tortilla, and again top with sauce, cheese, chicken and onions.
- 7. Bake enchiladas in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- 8.While enchiladas are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of lard or oil in a pan and fry the eggs two at a time (or however many will fit). To serve, place an enchilada stack on a plate and top with pork chile verde sauce if using, and fried egg.
