Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Quickly dip each tortilla in oil until soft and pliable, 10–15 seconds per side.

  3. Step 3

    Lay tortilla on a plate, fill with one cheese strip, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a serving platter.

  4. Step 4

    Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheese until all eight enchiladas are rolled.

  5. Step 5

    Pour salsa verde over enchiladas, then drizzle salsa roja and hot sauce across the top in stripes.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with lime wedges and cilantro on the side for squeezing and garnishing.
