Cheesy Goodness Abounds!

I should post a health warning with this recipe.  It is in no way, shape or form low-fat.  Not at all.  On the other hand, it is yummy and picky eater approved!  My husband brings home all sort of Taste of Home magazines for me.  I love it!  This is one that I found in one of them last year and it is worthy of sharing.

Cheese Enchiladas

1 15 oz can tomato sauce
2/3 C water
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
8 flour tortillas
3 1/4 C. shredded mexican blend chese
1 medium onion, very finely chopped (or 2 Tbsp dried minced onion, reconstituted)
1/2 C sour cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 C minced parsley (the dry stuff works as well as the fresh)

In a large sauce pan, combine the first 6 ingredients.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 4-5 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.  Spoon 2 Tbsp sauce over each tortilla.

In a large bowl combine 3 cups of the cheese, onions, sour cream, parsley, salt, and pepper.  Place 1/3 cup down the center of each tortilla.  Roll up and place seam side down in to a greased 13 in x 9 in. baking dish.  Pour remaining sauce over top.

Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.  Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.  Viola!
