If dried chillis are unavailable use fresh red chilli with seeds removed. Add one at a time to blender and taste to check on heat.
Ingredients
- vegetable oil
- 10-12 corn tortillas
- 5 dried red chillis, seeded and cleaned
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 1 small tomato
- salt to taste
- shredded cheese (fresh, chihuahua, or the one you prefer)
- shredded lettuce
Method
Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil(enough to cover chillis); Place the chillis in the water, cover and remove from heat. Let them stand for at least 1 hour or until soft. Put chilis in blender with 1 cup of the water, onion, garlic and tomato; process until smooth, put this mixture through a sieve into another saucepan and add salt to taste.
In hot oil, fry the tortillas a little bit (they should not be crispy), pass them through the chili sauce, Sprinkle over grated cheese and fold them in half. Arrange them in a serving dish, you can spoon some more sauce on top, if you like. Serve with lettuce on top .
