Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in 2/3 cup of the enchilada sauce, the taco seasoning mix, green chiles and frozen corn; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
  3. Lightly brush each side of corn tortillas with oil. Place 4 stacks of 3 tortillas each on ungreased large cookie sheet. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until tortillas are warmed and pliable. Remove from oven. Keep covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
  4. Working quickly with one tortilla at a time, place on work surface. Sprinkle 1 heaping tablespoonful cheese down center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup beef mixture. Gently wrap tortilla tightly around filling, placing seam side down in baking dish to make two rows. Repeat filling and rolling with remaining tortillas. Top enchiladas with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
  5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Top with tomatoes, cilantro and crema.

Expert Tips

  • To prevent the corn tortillas from cracking, brush each tortilla lightly with vegetable oil and warm them briefly in the oven until they are soft enough to roll. Be sure not to stack too many tortillas together, or they will not get warm enough to roll.
  • Be sure not to have too many tortillas in one stack, or they will not warm enough to roll.
  • Try rolling up one tortilla first. If it doesn't roll up easily, keep them in the oven for another minute, then check again. As you fill the enchiladas, keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel so they stay warm.
