1 1/2 cups Flour
3 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Sugar

Mix all day ingredients then add milk, oil and egg yoke, in a separate bowl whip egg whites till fluffy and form soft peeks then fold into waffle batter.

Tips

* For a healthier choice you can use Whole Wheat Flour and Olive Oil.
* The recipe works best with Whole Milk they fluff up better but you can also use
1 cup Skim milk and 1 cup Half and Half if you don't have whole milk.
*You can also add a little vanilla if you like.

1 pkg. Enchilada Sauce Dry Mix

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

3 cup Cheese

Flour Tortilla's

Cover with remaining cheese and poor enchilada sauce on top then bake

Bake 350* for 20-30 min

TIPS

*You can use wheat tortillas and the fat free chicken soup for a healthier choice

*I serve mine with tomatoes,lettuce, olives,salsa and sour cream. You can also do Mexican rice and beans as a side dish too.

*If you like beans in your enchiladas try black beans

*If you like things a little hotter use mild or hot enchilada sauce the brand I love is Old El Paso
