Chicken Enchiladas in red sauce

I love enchiladas and they are pretty easy to make. Canned sauce makes the process faster but most sauces are full of additives, and its so easy to make your own.
Ingredients:
1 large onion
3 cloves of garlic
6 large dried chile pods, broken open and seeded
6 pieces of chicken
4 c water or chicken stock
salt
1 teaspoon chile powder
1/2 t cumin powder
1 t onion powder
1T butter or oil
6 -8 corn tortillas
1 cup of shredded cheese

sautee the onions and chile pods in the butter.

add chicken pices and spices and water

simmer the chicken about 20 minutes, then remove pieces, let cool and chop the meat.

blend the cooked chiles, onions, etc. with an emulsion blender or a food processor.

add about a cup of sauce to the chopped chicken

 add about 1/2 c of the cheese and mix together.  The next step is to fry tortillas.

fry each tortilla on each side in a little oil until soft.

roll about a 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture inside each tortilla, roll so that the seam ends up on the bottom. Pour sauce over the top, then sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

bake at 350 degrees about 20 - 30 minutes

And that's how easy it is to make really yummy enchiladas from scratch. :)
