This food has deep ties to the influences of meso-Americans and Spanish combination.    Ingredients :  - 2 1/2 pounds of Roma Tomatoes - Vegetable oil ( 2 Tablespoons)  - ½ a white or yellow onion  - 2 large chipotles minced  - Kosher salt  - Minced garlic 1 ½ teaspoons      Red tortillas :  2-4 ancho chilies cleaned, deseeded and destemmed  Kosher salt  Cup of water  1 ½ dried masa    Topping  1 cup crumbled queso fresco    **Chipotle Sauce ** - Preheat oven to 360 F  - Place the tomatoes on a single layer of aluminum foil and place in the oven. Roast and turn so heat is even distributed. Wait until the skins start to burst. This will range from 15- 25 minutes.  - Switch to broil on the oven and blacken the skins in spots. Take it out and let it cool.  - Place oil in a saucepan to cook the onion a little. Be careful not to brown the onion too much.  - Add the garlic, and chipotles and cook for an additional minute  - Place the mixture and tomatoes in a blender. Run until it gives a puree consistency.  **Red Tortillas ** - Place the chilies in a large bowl to submerge them in hot water. Wait until they have softened then drain any excess water.  - Take the new softened chilies and place them in the blender  - Add salt and some warm water to get the right color  - Add dried masa and knead in the pureè until smooth. You may need to add more water to make it easier.  - Let the dough rest before separating it into balls  - Divide the dough into 10-14 balls and cover with plastic wrap or a damp paper towel to prevent any drying.  - Next using a press flatten each ball in between each layer of plastic. If you don’t have a press utilize another flat item in the kitchen.  - Keep the tortilla in a plastic sheet and peel off one side to reuse the plastic for the remaining tortillas.  - Holding the tortilla flat in the hand with palm up, gently place the tortilla on the medium heat set comal or iron griddle. Cook for about 30 seconds -1 minute on each side. - Place tortillas in a tortilla warmer or basket and cover with a cloth to keep tortillas warm. ***Adding Red Sauce with Queso*** - Heat red chipotle sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce to low and let simmer. - Set aside cheese and garnish aside, ready to add. - Pour cooking oil ½ inch into the pan on medium-high heat to fry the tortillas.  - Place each tortilla in oil and lightly fry to get crisp edges.  - Place a handful of queso asadero inside the tortillas and drizzle chipotle sauce over.  - When the enchiladas are prepared with queso asadero filling, pour the remaining chipotle sauce and garnish with queso fresco. **This recipe is a compilation of various sources, drawing from several authors and culinary traditions.** - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### Recent Posts ### Main Categories - [A Pleasant Little Kitchen (119)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/a-pleasant-little-kitchen) - [Happy and Nourished (98)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/happy-and-nourished) - [Eat Well Live Well (30)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/eat-well-live-well) - [Chef's Counter (13)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/chefs-counter) - [Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos (10)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/day-of-the-dead-día-de-los-muertos) - [Easter (6)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/easter) - [Mothers Day (5)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/mothers-day) - [Hatch Chile Season (4)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/hatch-chile-season) - [Hispanic Heritage Month (4)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/hispanic-heritage-month) - [Valentine's Day (3)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/valentines-day) - [Back To School (2)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/back-to-school) - [Cinco De Mayo (2)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/tag/cinco-de-mayo) [See all](https://blog.amigosunited.com/enchiladas-rojas-de-queso-1#) ![Amigos Logo](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/AmigosIcon.png) ### Company Information - [About The United Family](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/) - [Careers](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/careers/) - [Commitment to Community](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/donations/) - [Sustainability Promise](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/sustainability/%20target=) - [United Supermarkets](https://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/) - [Market Street](https://www.marketstreetunited.com/) - [Albertsons Market](https://www.albertsonsmarket.com) ### Guest Services - [Shop Online](http://www.amigosunited.com/rs/shoponline/) - [Order Gift Cards](https://www.amigosunited.com/rs/giftcards) - [Order Flowers](https://www.marketstreetflowers.com/) - [Take Our Survey](https://www.amigosunited.com/survey) - [Refill/Transfer Prescriptions](https://ecom.nhin.com/nhin/servlet/EpsEntry?CHAIN_ID=UNITED&STORE_ID=ALL&INIT=YES) - [Contact Us](https://www.amigosunited.com/page/contact) ### Resources - [Nutritional Info](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/nutrition/) - [Online Shopping FAQs](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/contact-us/faqs) - [Email Online Shopping Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/groceryDelivery/?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Rewards Program](https://www.amigosunited.com/page/savings/rewards) - [Email Rewards Support](https://www.safeway.com/contactus/contact-us-form/commentsAndQuestions/accountUpdate?bannerId=unitedsupermarkets) - [Product Recalls](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/recalls/) - [Coupon Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/coupon-policy/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms & Conditions](https://www.theunitedfamily.com/terms-conditions/) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Insta.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/enchiladas-rojas-de-queso-1#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Facebook.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/enchiladas-rojas-de-queso-1#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Twitter.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/enchiladas-rojas-de-queso-1#) [![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Amigos%20Blog%202019/Pinterest.png)](https://blog.amigosunited.com/enchiladas-rojas-de-queso-1#) Download Our Rewards App ![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/GooglePlay.png) ![](https://blog.amigosunited.com/hubfs/Market%20Street%20Blog%202019/AppStore.png)
