- 1
Toast all the chiles and the tomato on a griddle or skillet. Then soak the chiles in hot water for about 5 minutes to soften.
- 2
Blend the chiles, tomato, onion, garlic, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
- 3
Pour the blended sauce into a pan with a little oil and simmer until it comes to a gentle boil, then remove from heat.
- 4
Grate the cheese, slice the lettuce into thin strips, and cut the tomato into slices.
- 5
In a skillet, add enough pork lard to cover the bottom and lightly fry the tortillas.
- 6
Once the lard is very hot, dip each tortilla in the red chile sauce, then quickly fry in the lard. Flip immediately, being careful not to tear the tortilla.
- 7
Fill each tortilla with cheese and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- 8
Serve the enchiladas topped with lettuce and tomato. You can also drizzle with crema if you like. 😋

Optional: For a delicious side, add pre-cooked potato and carrot slices, dip them in the sauce, then fry in the lard. They make a great accompaniment.
