Method was exactly the same as before ...
Filling
I made a beef mince and prawn stuffing with cauli rice.
Back up! Minced beef and prawn? Yes! It works! Simply brown off some minced beef with chopped onion, garlic, chilli and ginger, a good splash of Worcestershire Sauce (which I am let to believe that Mexicans love as Salsa Anglais), some tomato purée and beef stock. Pour in some chopped tomato (not too much, say, half a carton to a pound of beef). Simmer on for a couple of hours. Pour in some small prawns which folks from the US might call shrimp. Steam some cauliflower florets, crush with a fork and stir into the meat - this is the rice.
Pancakes
Make up some manioc tortilla. Something like a cup of manioc flour to four eggs to half a cup of grated parmesan will do perfectly. I hate parmesan, so used pecorino, a hard sheep cheese. Manchego would do equally well. This will make about six to eight 6" tortilla, so adjust accordingly.
Likewise, a pound on mince, a cup of prawns and a reasonable cauliflower will fill those 6-8.
Go on ... roll 'em up!
Roll up! Roll up!
Cheese Sauce
Now for the Swiss bit ...
Understand that we don't need much. No need to go all neolithic and drown this great food in cheese; just a little will do just fine. I used a blend of mature and medium cheddar. Some. I don't measure, so don't know how much, so "some" will have to do as my explanation.
Cheese, grated, melted in single cream. No need for flour. No need for thickener. If you get the cheese to cream right, it works. Grated the cheese, then on a low heat add as little cream as you think you will get away with and only add more if you cannot get the cheese to melt without going hard them moment the pan is lifted off the stove.
Pour the sauce over and pop it into the oven at 175C for about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile ...
Pico de Gallo
While these Enchiladas are gorgeous on their own, just a little Pico de Gallo perfects the dish.
Simply chop up some tomato, cucumber, spring onions and add in some sweetcorn, omitting the later if it's not a part of your ancestral diet.
Serve
Collect the Enchiladas from the oven, serving a couple each and scattering the Pico de Gallo over.
Dig in and enjoy!
