03 -
2 cups tomato sauce
04 -
1/2 onion, chopped
05 -
2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese or cheddar
11 -
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
12 -
1/2 cup sour cream (for garnish, optional)
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for 10–15 seconds per side until softened. Remove and drain on paper towels.
02 -
In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, approximately 2–3 minutes.
03 -
Add tomato sauce, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to develop.
04 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
05 -
Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce mixture over the bottom of a baking dish.
06 -
Dip each softened tortilla into the tomato sauce, then layer in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro before adding the next layer. Continue layering until all tortillas are used.
07 -
Cover the top layer with remaining cheese and tomato sauce. Bake for 15–20 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
08 -
Remove from oven and garnish with additional fresh cilantro and sour cream, if desired. Serve warm.
