INSTRUCTIONS
from Better Homes & Gardens Mexican Cookbook
In covered saucepan cook the 1/2 cup onion in the 1/4 cup water about 5
minutes till tender. Stir in 1 1/4 cups of the tomato puree, the chopped
peppers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat to boiling; simmer, covered, 10
minutes. Uncover; simmer 2 to 3 minutes or till slightly thickened. Set
aside.
In skillet cook pork and the 1 cup onion till pork is brown and onion is
tender. Drain off fat. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup tomato puree, the cooked
potatoes, and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat through. Set filling aside. Beat
egg whites till stiff peaks form. Beat egg yolks and 1 tablespoon water
slightly. Add flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt; beat about 3 minutes or till
thick and lemon-colored. Fold into whites.
To assemble enrollados, heat 2 tablespoons oil in skillet. Dip each
tortilla in the hot oil for 10 seconds or just till limp. Spoon about 1/4
cup filling onto each tortilla; roll up. Dip filled tortills in egg
mixture, being sure ends are covered. Cook in deep hot fat (375 degrees)
about 2 minutes per side or till golden brown. Drain on paper toweling.
Reheat sauce. Arrange enrollados on platter; pour sauce over. Garnish with
lettuce and cheese. Makes 6 servings.
Alternate directions: Omit the egg batter and deep-fat fry the tortillas.
