8 organic corn tortillas

1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil

2 Eight Oz. Packages of Frontera Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

2 Organic Red or Yukon Gold Potatoes 

1/2 cup organic milk

3 tbsp organic butter

1/2 brown onion, diced

2 oz fire roasted diced green chiles

1 Eight oz. package of shredded pepper jack or mozarella cheese

3 tbsp cotija

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

 

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Grease a large (2 quart or 15x10 size) baking dish with olive oil. Dice the onion. Clean and peel potatoes. Then, using a fork, poke the potatoes with the pronged end of the fork multiple times until each potato has several sets of holes on all sides. Put the potatoes in a baking dish and bake for 45 minutes. Upon removing the potatoes from the oven, immediately cut them into cubes and put the cubes into a large mixing bowl. Add butter and let the butter melt. Using a handheld blender, mix the mixture, gradually adding the milk until it reaches a creamy whipped consistency. Stir in the salt and pepper and set the mixture aside. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. After one minute, add the onions and cook, stirring often until they become translucent. Put the onions in a separate dish and return the skillet to the fire. Add the enchilada sauce and heat on medium heat until it starts to bubble. Reduce heat to low. One at a time, add the tortillas, cooking in the sauce for about 30 sections on each side until soft. Be careful not to overcook, as it will cause the tortillas to tear or break apart. After each tortilla is cooked in the sauce, transfer to the baking dish and put two tablespoons of the potato mixture in a line on the right side of each tortilla. Then carefully roll the tortilla with the potato inside. Put in the dish and repeat 8 times. Pour the excess sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. After baking, let cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle the crumbled cotija over the top. Serve with baked beans, salad or tortilla chips. Enjoy!
