9. Person 1: Dip the tortillas into the chile pot and place into the cooking pan.
Person 2: After the tortilla has been dipped, place half a handful of cheese into the tortilla, sprinkle onions over the cheese (optional), and roll.
Repeat until all tortillas have been filled and rolled.
10. Lather the enchiladas with the rest of the chile.
11. Cover the enchiladas with a generous amount of cheese.
12. Cover the pans with aluminum foil and place in the oven for 30 mins or until cheese has melted at 350º.
