I recipe red chili sauce with cream (Recipe follows)

TO MAKE SAUCE:

TO ASSEMBLE ENCHILADAS:
4
Cream the cream cheese and stir in green onions and pecans. Heat a small amount of cooking oil (about 1/4-inch) in a small skillet, slightly larger than a tortilla. Place a tortilla in the hot oil, only long enough to soften, and remove to a plate. Proceed with remaining tortillas, stacking the tortillas to keep them warm and soft. Then dip a heated tortilla into the heated red chili sauce; remove the dipped tortilla to a plate and place a tablespoon or more of the cream cheese filling along the center portion of the tortilla, spreading along the diameter. Fold tortilla in half and roll up. Place enchilada in a buttered baking dish. Proceed with remaining tortillas. Pour red chili sauce over the enchiladas, top with grated cheese, and bake at 325u00b0 F., 10 to 15 minutes until heated through and Jack cheese is melted.
