Enchilada

 * ⅛ teaspoon red pepper
 * 3 tablespoons chili powder
 * 1½ teaspoon ground cumin powder
 * 1½ teaspoon salt
 * ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
 * 4 tablespoons corn oil
 * 4 tablespoons flour
 * corn tortillas
 * cheddar cheese
 * Velveeta
 * 1 onion

Sauce

 * 4 tablespoons corn oil
 * 6 tablespoons flour
 * 1½ teaspoon cumin powder
 * ½ teaspoon salt
 * 3 tablespoons chili powder
 * ⅛ teaspoon red pepper
 * ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment

 * large, or medium size pan
 * frying pan
 * cheese grater
 * measuring cups
 * measuring spoons
 * spoon
 * spatula, or tongs for frying tortillas

Sauce

 * 1) Put a sauce pan on a medium heat burner and mix together the sauce ingredients.
 * 2) Cook for one minute, stirring the ingredients together.
 * 3) Now add the three cups of water and keep stirring until it is thickened to the consistency of a thin gravy.
 * 4) Keep sauce warm while you work on the rest of the recipe.

Enchilada

 * 1) Soft frying tortillas is quite easy.
 * 2) If you have never done this before we will show you how. (never leave a skillet, or frying pan with oil in it unattended it could start a fire. If you have small children in your house make sure that the handle of your frying pan, or skillet is out of their reach).
 * 3) Put about ¼th of an inch of corn oil in the frying pan.
 * 4) Turn the burner to medium high and let it heat up the oil.
 * 5) Then carefully place one of the corn tortillas in the hot oil.
 * 6) Cook for 5 seconds, then flip it over using a pair of tongs, or forks.
 * 7) Cook the other side for 5 seconds as well, before removing the tortilla from the pan.
 * 8) Once you remove it from the pan blot it off using paper towels.
 * 9) You will need to soft fry around 20 tortillas.
 * 10) This is so you will have a few extra.
 * 11) Now its time to grate the cheese.
 * 12) You will want to evenly mix one cup of grated cheddar cheese with one cup grated velveeta.
 * 13) It should look like the picture to the left once you have evenly mixed them.
 * 14) You will also want to chop up your onion now.

Assembling the enchiladas

 * 1) We will take you through making the first one.
 * 2) First you will want to give your enchilada sauce a quick stir to make sure it is still warm and well mixed.
 * 3) If it is not warm enough just turn the burner back on for a few minutes and heat it up a little.
 * 4) If you have to do this make sure you stir it at the same time.
 * 5) Now, lets get back to the instructions.
 * 6) You will want to take one of the soft fried tortillas and dip it in the enchilada sauce.
 * 7) Once you dip your soft fried tortilla, then sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese and a tablespoon of onion, as seen to your left.
 * 8) Then roll it up and place it on a serving plate.
 * 9) You will want to do this with all of your tortillas. I would suggest making them on a different plate than what you are going to serve them on. The enchilada sauce will make it a huge mess if you don't.

Topping

 * 1) Once you have finished making all the enchiladas add a few more large spoonfuls of enchilada sauce on top along with more cheese and more onion.
 * 2) The pictures to the left will serve as a good guide to the amounts.
 * 3) If you skip putting the enchilada sauce on top they will taste more like a cheese taco rather than an enchilada.
 * 4) That wouldn't be good! * if your tortillas and enchilada sauce is not hot enough to melt the cheese then zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
 * 5) If you like, top your enchiladas off with an over easy fried egg.
 * 6) Now enjoy your enchiladas!
