Ok - misread aaaaaagain - you leave the dough to rest 10 - 20 - 30 minutes !!!  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ BEFORE you put it in the press !!

Muchas gracias amiga

In my enthusiasm I may not have worded it clearly enough.  I know what I mean but sometimes it comes out different.  ;D

Basically add all ingredients into bowl, knead for a few mins, then leave to sit for 30 mins. 
Divide dough into 8 pieces, roll each into a small ball with your hands, then one at a time, place in press, drop top part down, and press for a couple of seconds, then lift off and repeat with the rest.  :D

ok here is my first question for the forum :) and its a really embarrassing one  :)

I want to make these tomorrow, but Do you fry the tortillas before using them in the baked enchilada recipe, or use them uncooked? I am sure its means to fry them .... but worried they will go too crunchy to roll them properly so wanted to double check in case I have misunderstood

ta, ruth

Hi Ruth, not an embarassing question at all, I'm glad you asked.   ;D 

I did gently fry them, but like you say if you do it too much they will harden.  I also kept mine under a tea towel as I did them, less likely to dry out that way too.  Good luck, hope you enjoy it.  :D

Placing your tortillas on a plate in a plastic bag as you make them is a great way to keep them soft (a Quirky Jo tip ;)).  :)

Thanks for the recipe, JulieO, this will be a regular in our house now :D.  DH was complimenting me (you) with every mouthful  ;D ;D ;D.  I might try and squeeze a few more vegies in next time, for the kidlets.

I  made these tonight.  I have never made an enchilada before (I might not have even ever eaten one before  ;D)  They were a big hit.  They'll be a regular in this house.  Thanks so much for the recipe.

I've been a little slack in posting but this was the first 'meal' (after the obligatory custard and sorbet of course) that I made and we were throroughly impressed, it was absolutely delicious! 
Being a novice, I was a little too concerned with breaking the mince up (lesson learned) so it was a little fine, and my tortillas looked a little dodgy, but once it was all put together you couldn't notice that at all.  I also think that the home-made tortillas made all the difference, and am going to invest in a tortilla press - I never knew such a thing existed - thanks JulieO! (Actually, it was your enthusiasm and photos that convinced me I needed a thermomix in the first place - without having laid eyes on one - so thanks for everything!)  :D
