    Once the potatoes are ready, remove the skillet and prepare another skillet for the enchiladas. Pour some sauce into a plate deep enough to dip the tortillas.

  14. 14

    Let the tortilla fry for about 10 seconds, then spoon a little more sauce over each tortilla in the skillet. Flip and cook for another 15 seconds. Remove the tortilla carefully so it doesn’t tear.

    Place the tortilla on a plate, fill with the potato and carrot mixture, and roll it up. Repeat for each enchilada.
