Instructions
Set oven to 350. In medium bowl mix filling ingredients and set aside. In small saucepan combine sauce ingredients, itr and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour sauce into shallow bowl with at least the circumferance of your tortillas. Dip each tortilla into sauce, covering completely, turning over and covering completely again (this will soak the tortilla and warm it, makeing it more pliable in addition to flavorful). Spoon about 2-3 heaping Tablespoons of filling into the middle of tortilla, and then roll up. Repeat. Arrange in 8x11.5 inch baking dish (or slightly larger or slightly smaller). Pour remaining sauce (yes, all of it) over enchiladas, sprinkle with the 1/4 cup Cheddar. Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until bubbling. Garnish with sliced black olives, sour cream, and minced scallions. Serve with Spanish rice and some refried beans.
