RED ENCHILADA SAUCE / CASSEROLE/ ENCHILADAS<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
This makes about 2 quarts<O:p</O:p
¼ cup flour [I add more flour and water for more of an orange sauce or less chili]<O:p</O:p
¼ tesp onion powder<O:p</O:p
¼ tesp garlic salt<O:p</O:p
1/8 tesp oregano<O:p</O:p
¼ cup Bueno chili powder-mild<O:p</O:p
About ¼ cup oil<O:p</O:p
2 qts water<O:p</O:p

With heated oil in pan mix and add dry stuff to make a gravy<O:p</O:p
Then add water<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:p
For Red Enchiladas<O:p</O:p
Fry corn tortillas till soft, not hard and not fall apart<O:p</O:p
Lay flat fill with shredded mild cheddar cheese, diced onions<O:p</O:p
Roll several on a plate cover with sauce and cheese heat in oven till hot, <O:p</O:p

For Red Enchilada Casserole <O:p</O:p
Do not fry corn tortillas<O:p</O:p
