  • Roast the chiles and let them soak in hot water for 25 minutes.
  • Mash them in a food processor with 1/2 cup of the soaking water.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet and add the onion. Sauté until golden. Remove from heat and mix with the cheese. Add 1 tablespoon of the ground chiles and mix. Set aside.
  • Put the corn dough in a bowl and add the remaining ground chiles and salt. Knead for 5 minutes until the ingredients are fully mixed. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Take small balls of dough and place between two plastics in a tortilla press. Flatten and make tortillas. Place a little of the cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla and fold the tortilla in half. Press the edges to seal.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. (Yields about 12 medium enchiladas).
  • Heat a griddle and toast the enchiladas for 2-3 minutes on each side. The dough should change color and look cooked.
  • Fill a skillet with 1 cm of oil for frying and add 2-3 enchiladas to fry for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Let drain on a paper towel.
