Happy Halloween!

Yesterday I made Enchiladas from a recipe that I received from my Mother. She got the recipe from an Hispanic friend who is no longer with us:(
We call them broken glass enchiladas since one Christmas Mom made them in a glass pyrex pan. She put them in the oven and the pan shattered!

Corn Tortilla - red white corn or yellow
Brown 2 lbs of lean ground beef
chile powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
flour for gravy
cheese
onions chopped fine

1. Dip tortillas in hot oil to soften. Flip in and out. FAST! so they won't get hard. Do as many as you are going to use.
2. put meat, cheese, onions in tortillas and roll. Place them in a 13x9 pan.
3. Enchilada sauce
1/3 cup shortning or oil
1/2 cup flour
3 T chile powder
3 or 4 cups of water
1 1/2 T cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Bring oil to very hot, add flour. cook a few minutes stirring constantly. add chile powder. cook a few more minutes. Add water. bring to boil. add cumin. If gravy gets too thin, add more flour to thicken.

Pour over enchiladas in pan. If you have beef cheese and onions left over, put on top of sauce. Put in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
