Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb enchiladas
  • 1 tsp white onion
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lime
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 medium corn tortillas
  • 1 lb kosher salt
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the enchiladas dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the enchiladas, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
Keep cooking
