- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2/3 cup water
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese

Instructions
- Place all the ingredients except for the water into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Then pour the mixture into a sauce pan and then heat over medium high heat.
- Once the sauce is warm, gradually add in the water and stir until the sauce is the consistency that you prefer.

- Pour a small amount of the homemade enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 baking pan.

- Place the tortillas in a 9X13 baking pan. Top the tortilla with a small amount of each type of the shredded cheeses, roll it up and push it to the end of the pan.
- Continue this process until your pan is full. Then pour the excess sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Then bake the enchiladas for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.
- Top with the chopped fresh cilantro and enjoy!
