12   Corn tortillas
4 tablespoons 60mlOil or lard
1   Garlic
1 tablespoon 15mlFlour
4 cups 948mlGreen chile sauce
1   Salt to taste
2 cups 292g / 10ozGrated cheddar or jack cheese

Recipe Instructions

Fry tortillas in fat to soften. Heat garlic in oil then discard garlic. Blend flour into oil. Stir in green chile sauce and heat thoroughly. If mixture is too thick, add water. Add salt to taste. Layer tortillas with sauce, minced onion and cheese on oven-proof plates. Sprinkle cheese on top. Use 3 tortillas for each serving. Place in oven to allow cheese to melt. NOTE: For a real New Mexican touch place a poached or fried egg on top. The egg seems to help meld the flavors.
