Crepes Ensenada

I found this recipe at Lisa's blog Gourmified a while ago and finally got around to making it. We really liked it--cheesy and yummy. And it's so quick to put together.
Crepes Ensenada
12 thin slices of ham
12 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, cut lengthwise into 12 sticks
1 (4-oz.) can diced green chilies
Paprika

Preheat oven to 350º.
Place 1-2 slices of ham on each tortilla. Put 1 stick of cheese in center and top with a few chili pieces. Roll tortilla and secure with a toothpick or with the seam down in the pan. Place tortillas slightly separated in a greased or sprayed 9x13-inch pan. Make cheese sauce and pour over tortillas. Srinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered 45 minutes.

Cheese Sauce
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. flour
4 c. milk
3/4 lb. cheddar cheese, grated
1 t. dry mustard
1/2 t. salt
Dash of pepper
1-4oz. can diced green chilies (if desired)
Melt butter and blend in flour to form a smooth paste. Add milk, grated cheese, mustard, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Serves 6-8.

  3. I am drooling! It looks so good and completely not on the diet I'm doing to support my husband in his Biggest Loser challenge. I'll have to come back to it when he's all done!
