Instructions
- If you are making the Salsa de Aguacate, simply add the following ingredients to a blender or food processor: the flesh of a single avocado, 1/2 peeled garlic clove, 4-5 sprigs cilantro, juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine well. If it's not combining readily simply add another splash of water.
- I cooked these enchiladas on the stove-top, but you are welcome to bake them if you want. I started by warming up 3 corn tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat. Once warm you can remove the tortillas from the pan and then fill each tortilla with: cooked chicken, a layer of refried beans, sliced cheese, and a sprinkling of raw onion. Roll tight and place them seam side down to keep 'em together.
- Then I added a 1/2 tablespoon of bacon drippings to the pan to help crisp up the enchiladas, but this is optional. Cook the rolled enchiladas over medium heat for a few minutes per side, or until there are light brown spots forming on the tortillas. If you're cooking them in fat be sure to dredge the second side in some of the melted fat when you flip them.
- Add the cooked enchiladas to a plate and load them up with the final fixings. For this batch that meant plenty of Salsa de Aguacate, crumbled Queso Fresco, and freshly chopped cilantro. Enjoy!!
