How To Make new mexico enchiladas

• Step 1
  Saute the beef over medium heat until it has lost its raw red color, chopping it with the edge of a spoon into small pieces as it cooks.
• Step 2
  Add the garlic, salt, pepper and chili powder and cook another 3-4 minutes.
• Step 3
  Remember that the flavor of chili mellows as it cooks, although it won\'t get less hot.
• Step 4
  Add the flour to the meat mixture and stir well.
• Step 5
  Add the tomato sauce and water. Simmer gently (uncovered) for about 45 minutes, until it has thickened and the flavors are blended.
• Step 6
  Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat, until it sizzles when a bit of tortilla is dropped in.
• Step 7
  Soften the tortillas briefly in the oil, one at a time, about 5 seconds on a side. (Turn with tongs, being careful not to tear them.) Drain on paper towels.
• Step 8
  Prepare another small skillet with a small amount of oil in the bottom, enough for frying an egg.
• Step 9
  Assembling the enchiladas requires you to keep track of several things at once.
• Step 10
  Start an egg frying for each enchilada. Make sure that the yolk is cooked soft, not hard!
• Step 11
  Put one tortilla on a dinner plate. Cover it with a medium-thick layer of meat sauce.
• Step 12
  Sprinkle chopped onion and grated cheese on top.
• Step 13
  Sprinkle lettuce and chopped tomato around the edge.
• Step 14
  Top with another tortilla.
• Step 15
  Cover with more meat sauce, sprinkle more onion and cheese.
• Step 16
  Now top with the fried egg and serve immediately.
