Granny's Chorizo Enchiladas
2 lb chorizo, link or bulk
4 cup red chile sauce
12 corn tortillas (1 pkg.)
1 cooking oil
3 cup longhorn cheese, grated
1 pt sour cream
2 cup shredded lettuce
1 recipe guacamole, or
2 cup prepared guacamole
1 ripe olives
Remove sausage from casings if using links, and crumble. Place in a
heavy frying pan and cook, stirring often to keep the sausage
crumbly. Drain well. It's really greasy. Add red chile sauce (you
may used ready prepared sauce also--or substitute chunky style
picante sauce) to drained meat in frying pan and cook and stir to
blend flavors, abt. 15 min. Place 6 earthenware plates in an oven set
at 350 F. to warm. Lightly fry the tortillas and drain between layers
of paper towel. Assemble individual servings like lasagna, starting
with spoonful of sauce on plate and ending with sauce sprinkled with
cheese.
Heat in the oven to melt the cheese, for 3 to 5 min. To serve, top
with sour cream and garnish with lettuce, guacamole and ripe olives.
I glory in this world of men and women, torn with troubles, yet
living on to love and laugh through it all.
