Cook the other side for 5 seconds as well, before removing the tortilla from the pan. Once you remove it from the pan blot it off using paper towels. You will need to soft fry around 20 tortillas.

making the first one. First you will want to give your enchilada sauce a quick stir to make sure it is still warm and well mixed. If it is not warm enough just turn the burner back on for a few minutes and heat it up a little. If you have to do this make sure you stir it at the same time. Now, lets get back to the instructions. You will want to take one of the soft fried tortillas and dip it in the enchilada sauce.*

spoonfuls of enchilada sauce on top along with more cheese and more onion. The pictures to the left will serve as a good guide to the amounts. If you skip putting the enchilada sauce on top they will taste more like a cheese taco rather than an enchilada. That wouldn't be good! *
