Kayelle’s Gringo Enchiladas ;)
:zorro:


For the sauce...
2 Tbs. butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups whole milk (or diluted canned)
6 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper

Melt butter in a sauce pan, and blend in flour, cooking for about 2 min. Add milk, shredded cheese, mustard, salt and pepper.
Cook stir constantly bringing to a bubble for about 2 minutes.
Set aside.

For the "enchiladas" ...
8 thin slices of good deli ham
8 8” flour tortillas, slightly warmed for easy rolling
¾ lb of Monterrey Jack cheese, cut into 1/2" sticks, to make 8 sticks
8-16 trimmed fresh asparagus spears, depending on the thickness
Smoked Paprika.

Pour enough cheese sauce in a 9x13 pan to cover bottom about an inch.

Place one slice ham on each tortilla and top with cheese stick and asparagus . Roll, and place seam side down, slightly separated into the pan. Pour cheese sauce over the top, and sprinkle with paprika.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

You're welcome Ross. When fresh asparagus is out of season you can always substitute a mild Ortega chili.
I'm thinking that next time I may also roll up a line of small raw shrimp with the ham/cheese/asparagus.

Sounds good Kay, thank you for sharing. I like the idea of adding shrimp to the roll ups. :yum:
