To make enchiladas more authentic and better (if not healthier), heat up some vegetable oil in a deepish skillet (about 1/2 in of oil). When the oil is hot enough to bubble around a wooden spoon, dip each tortilla into the oil for about 5 sec on each side until the tortilla is soft but not soggy (if it becomes crispy, you've done it too long!). Put the tortilla on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat which each tortilla. After they are cooled, dip the fried tortillas into the enchilada sauce before you roll them up with ingredients. Much tastier tortillas!
