Ingredients
4cupsJack’s Chili (or your own favorite chili recipe)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2cups whole milk
2cups shredded cheddar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 shakes of your favorite hot sauce
6 8-inch flour tortillas
2cups shredded jack cheese
Toppings
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4cupcilantro chopped
1/4cupred onion minced fine
Instructions
Heat chili to hot and hold.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter and add flour. Cook over medium heat for three minutes stirring often.
Add cold milk one third at a time, mixing each third in before you add the next. The mixture will start out thick then thin down as you add the remaining milk.
Add cheddar, salt, pepper and hot sauce and stir. Add more milk if too thick.
Ladle a little of the sauce in the bottom of a 9X13 pan. Lay out the six tortilla shells on your counter and divide the chili between them filling one at a time.
Fold in each side and place seam down in the pan.
Repeat for remaining five.
Pour the remaining sauce over the tops of each and cover with the jack cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes then finish under the broiler to brown the tops.
Serve with diced tomatoes, cilantro and minced red onions on each portion.
