  • 6 soft flour tortillas
  • 10 oz shredded Mexican cheese mix
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 3 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce from chipotles
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp white granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt (more or less per taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onion in canola oil until translucent. Add crushed garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Stir in flour and gradually whisk in diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Add chipotle pepper and spices; simmer for about 10 minutes.
