Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 (10 ounce) package corn tortillas

  • 1 (16 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, grated

  • 2 (19 ounce) cans chili without beans (such as Wolf Brand ®)

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.

  2. Warm oil in a small skillet. Use tongs to dip tortillas into the oil one at a time, turning to warm both sides. Sprinkle an even amount of Cheddar cheese down the center of each warmed tortilla. Roll tortillas to enclose cheese; place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Combine the chili, onion, and half of the processed cheese in a large bowl. Pour the chili mixture over the tortillas; top with the remaining processed cheese.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
