Directions

  1. SAUCE:.
  2. Place garlic in cold, non-reactive (non-aluminum use non-stick or ceramic lined) large sauce pan with oil. Bring up to a medium heat, stirring so that garlic doesn't scorch. Saut for 1 minute, then add onions.
  3. Add remaining dry spices (through parsley) and saut for 3-4 minutes, to develop oil & spices' flavors.
  4. Add remaining ingredients, except cilantro. Simmer gently on low for 30 minutes.

  7. Spread 1 cup of enchilada sauce in bottom of baking pan.
  8. Combine cheeses, chilies, onions, and olives in large mixing bowl, tossing gently to thoroughly mix.Stuff and roll enchiladas with 2/3 of the cheese mixture.
  9. Place them, seam-side down in pan in two rows of 4-5; long the long side of the pan. When all are in pan, pour remaining enchilada sauce FIRST over the outside edges (as they will dry out if not covered), then once down the center.
  10. Spread remaining cheese mixture on the two lanes that remain uncovered by sauce.
  11. Bake, uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and melted. Cool for 5 minutes to re-congeal before serving. Makes 8-10 enchiladas, serving 4-6 people.For Vegetarian option use Vegetable broth.
