If youre in a hurry, theres a quick way to make great enilladas New Mexican or pancake style. Chop an onion, and rinse the pieces. Pour the enchilada sauce into a sallow soup plate, and dip the corn tortillas in without pre-heating them. Submerge the tortilla completely, and then place it on a ten or eleven inch plate. Put shredded Colby-Jack cheese on top and onions on top of that. Then add a tablespoon of sauce. Repeat, building up as many as five layers. Add cheese and onion over the top, and add some chopped jalapeños. Finally, pour more sauce over the whole mound. Cover, and put it into the microwave for three and one-half minutes, plus one minute for each layer over three. Of course, microwaves vary, so your time may be more or less.
