Ingredients
Scale
Tomato Sauce
- Fresh Tomatoes: 6 ripe tomatoes
- Onion: 1 medium onion
- Garlic: 2 cloves of garlic
Tortillas
- Corn Tortillas: 10-12 tortillas
Topping
- cheese: 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., queso fresco or Monterey Jack)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tomato Sauce: Start by blending fresh tomatoes, onion, and garlic until smooth. Cook this mixture in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a skillet over medium heat and warm the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable but not crispy.
- Assemble the Entomatadas: Dip each warm tortilla into the tomato sauce, fill it with your choice of filling, and roll it up. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour additional tomato sauce over the assembled entomatadas and sprinkle with cheese. Make sure to cover them evenly for a perfect melt.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the entomatadas for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Notes
- Always use the freshest ingredients you can find for the best flavor.
- Be mindful of the filling; overstuffing can make them difficult to roll and eat.
- If your sauce is too thick, add a bit of water or broth to achieve your desired consistency.
- Allow the entomatadas to rest for a few minutes after baking for easier serving.
- Try different garnishes like fresh cilantro, sour cream, or avocados for added flavor.
