For Corn Tortillas
- In a bowl, whisk together corn meal, flour, egg, water, and salt (batter should be consistency of thin pancake batter – add more water if needed). Heat in a small cast iron skillet or crepe pan coated with oil to medium high heat. With a ladle or measuring cup, pour a thin layer of batter in pan to make a 6″ tortilla. When tortilla forms bubbles, flip and cook for about 30 seconds. Put on a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat until batter is used up. Heat the enchilada sauce to warm.
Assemble Casserole
- In a 9″ x 13″ baking pan, pour about ½ cup of warm enchilada sauce on bottom of pan. Dip each corn tortilla into warm enchilada sauce to coat on both sides. Place approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of enchilada filling on tortilla and roll up. Place enchilada seam-side down in pan. Repeat until pan is full. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled up tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350ºF for about 15 minutes. When done, top with chopped tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, and dollops of sour cream.
