== Directions ==
=== Sauce ===
# Put a sauce pan on a medium heat burner and mix together the sauce ingredients.
# Cook for one minute, stirring the ingredients together.
# Now add the three cups of water and keep stirring until it is thickened to the consistency of a thin gravy.
# Keep sauce warm while you work on the rest of the recipe.
=== Enchilada ===
# Soft frying tortillas is quite easy.
# If you have never done this before we will show you how. (never leave a skillet, or frying pan with oil in it unattended it could start a fire. If you have small children in your house make sure that the handle of your frying pan, or skillet is out of their reach).
# Put about ¼th of an inch of corn oil in the frying pan.
# Turn the burner to medium high and let it heat up the oil.
# Then carefully place one of the corn tortillas in the hot oil.
# Cook for 5 seconds, then flip it over using a pair of tongs, or forks.
# Cook the other side for 5 seconds as well, before removing the tortilla from the pan.
# Once you remove it from the pan blot it off using paper towels.
# You will need to soft fry around 20 tortillas.
# This is so you will have a few extra.
# Now its time to grate the cheese.
# You will want to evenly mix one cup of grated cheddar cheese with one cup grated velveeta.
# It should look like the picture to the left once you have evenly mixed them.
# You will also want to chop up your onion now. 
=== Assembling the enchiladas ===
# We will take you through making the first one.
# First you will want to give your enchilada sauce a quick stir to make sure it is still warm and well mixed.
# If it is not warm enough just turn the burner back on for a few minutes and heat it up a little.
# If you have to do this make sure you stir it at the same time.
# Now, lets get back to the instructions.
# You will want to take one of the soft fried tortillas and dip it in the enchilada sauce.
# Once you dip your soft fried tortilla, then sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese and a tablespoon of onion, as seen to your left.
# Then roll it up and place it on a serving plate.
# You will want to do this with all of your tortillas. I would suggest making them on a different plate than what you are going to serve them on. The enchilada sauce will make it a huge mess if you don't. 
=== Topping ===
# Once you have finished making all the enchiladas add a few more large spoonfuls of enchilada sauce on top along with more cheese and more onion.
# The pictures to the left will serve as a good guide to the amounts.
# If you skip putting the enchilada sauce on top they will taste more like a cheese taco rather than an enchilada.
# That wouldn't be good! * if your tortillas and enchilada sauce is not hot enough to melt the cheese then zap them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
# If you like, top your enchiladas off with an over easy fried egg.
# Now enjoy your enchiladas!
