For the sauce, blend the soaked chiles with the garlic, cumin, oregano, and water until you obtain a well-integrated mixture. Cook the sauce for a few minutes in a small pot with lard, season with salt, remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Coat the tortilla on both sides with the sauce and fry in hot oil over low heat. Drain and set aside. In the same oil used for the tortillas, fry the potato and carrot. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Assemble your enchiladas, fill the tortilla with ranch cheese and fold it, place fried potato and carrot, lettuce, and pickled jalapeño on top to taste.
