Chorizo enchiladas

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Chorizo, link or bulk
4 cups Red chile sauce
12 Corn tortillas (1 pkg.)
Cooking oil
3 cups Longhorn cheese, grated
1 pint Sour cream
2 cups Shredded lettuce
1 Recipe guacamole, OR
2 cups Prepared guacamole
Ripe olives

Directions

Remove sausage from casings if using links, and crumble. Place in a heavy frying pan and cook, stirring often to keep the sausage crumbly. Drain well. It's really greasy. Add red chile sauce (you may used ready prepared sauce also--or substitute chunky style picante sauce) to drained meat in frying pan and cook and stir to blend flavors, abt. 15 min. Place 6 earthenware plates in an oven set at 350 F. to warm. Lightly fry the tortillas and drain between layers of paper towel. Assemble individual servings like lasagna, starting with spoonful of sauce on plate and ending with sauce sprinkled with cheese.

Heat in the oven to melt the cheese, for 3 to 5 min. To serve, top with sour cream and garnish with lettuce, guacamole and ripe olives.
