Ingredients
- 8 pieces Gluten-free corn tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 cups Gluten-free enchilada sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions, for garnish
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the gluten-free tortillas one at a time for about 20 seconds per side, until they are pliable but not crispy. This helps to prevent cracking when rolling.
Step 4
Spread 1/2 cup of the gluten-free enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 5
Place approximately 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring each enchilada is fully covered with sauce.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy!
