½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 sticks Mexican cinnamon
½ cup flame raisins
½ cup chopped toasted walnuts

Enchiladas
12 yellow corn tortillas
½ cup vegetable oil

drop in the oil for 10 sec. Drain on
paper towel. Repeat and cool when all
tortillas are softened.
Assemble
Lay tortillas out on a work surface. Spoon filling in center. Fold one end over the filling and tuck it in
forming a cylinder about 1 inch thick.
Finish rolling. Place in a
greased baking dish that will hold all 12 enchiladas. When all are done cover with foil and bake at
350* for 15-20 min. When hot all the way
through pour warm Dulce de Leche over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with crushed ½ cup candied
walnuts. You can make the enchiladas a
few hours in advance.
For individual servings heat 2 enchiladas for 45 sec to 90
seconds in the microwave. Then drizzle
with sauce and walnuts. Leave 1/8" of
the ends exposed. You can also heat like
the above but remove enchiladas to plates and then sauce. Serve with cinnamon ice cream.
