History
New Mexican enchiladas are either rolled or stacked, and covered with chile sauce and cheese. The stacked kind, called enchiladas montadas, is usually covered with red or green chile sauce and optionally topped with a fried egg, and it is also common with blue corn tortillas. In Albuquerque, Sadie's of New Mexico lists cheese enchiladas of two or three corn tortillas stacked or rolled, and Cervantes serves its ground beef enchilada plate rolled or flat.

Ingredients
- 6 corn tortillas
- 2 cups red chile sauce or green chile sauce (or 1 cup each for Christmas)
- 200g grated cheddar or Monterey Jack
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
- Salt to taste
Method
- Heat chile sauce gently in a saucepan. Keep warm.
- Heat a dry pan and warm each tortilla 30 seconds per side until pliable. Stack the warmed tortillas under a tea towel.
- Build on a heat proof plate: tortilla, dip in chile sauce, top with cheese and onion. Repeat 2 more times.
- Run the stack under a hot broiler 2 minutes or microwave to melt the cheese.
- Fry the eggs sunny side up in butter. Crown each stack with one egg.
- Serve immediately with extra chile and warm flour tortillas alongside.
Tip from the editors. Order Christmas (red AND green chile, half each side) the first time you eat this in Albuquerque. It is the local way to taste both styles in one plate.
