Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

1 15-ounce container part-skim ricotta cheese
3 1/2 cups (packed) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (about 14 ounces)
2 cups bottled mild green taco sauce
1 4-ounce can diced mild green chilies
3 green onions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
5 tablespoons corn oil
12 6-inch-diameter corn tortillas
Additional chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix ricotta, 2 1/2 cups Monterey Jack, 1/2 cup taco sauce, chilies, onions and 1/4 cup cilantro in large bowl. Season filling with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, add tortillas 1 at a time to oil; fry just until softened, about 5 seconds per side. Transfer tortillas to paper towels and drain.

    Step 3

    Spread 1 cup taco sauce over bottom of 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Spoon generous 1/4 cup filling into center of 1 tortilla. Fold bottom of tortilla over filling; roll up tortilla to enclose filling. Place seam side down in prepared dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Top with 1/2 cup taco sauce and 1 cup Monterey Jack.

    Step 4

    Bake enchiladas uncovered until heated through, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with additional cilantro.
