  • In another frying pan, heat about 1 of oil.
  • When hot enough to fry the tortillas, fry each one individually for about 30 seconds on each side.
  • Do not let them get crisp, as they will need to be rolled.
  • Blot them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the whipping cream and bouillon over low heat until the bouillon has dissolved.
  • Dip each tortilla in the cream, then place about 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup of filling onto tortilla.
  • Roll up as tightly as you can, and place the enchilada into the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour remaining cream sauce over the enchiladas, and top with shredded cheese.
  • Bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes, until sauce and cheese is bubbling.
  • Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
  • If you wish, you can garnish the finished dish with avocado slices, sliced black olives, paprika, finely chopped parsley, etc.
