Awesome White Cheese And Chocolate Enchiladas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    For the enchiladas
    4 corn tortillas
    2 cups white Mexican blend cheese, crumbled or cubed (Oaxacan is best, but Monterey Jack or Chihuahua would be okay)
    2 green onions, sliced
    For the Sauce
    1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil or 1 1/2 teaspoons corn oil
    1/2 medium onion, finely diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
    5 teaspoons flour
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 1/4 cups vegetable stock or 2 1/4 cups chicken stock
    1 ounce semisweet chocolate
Preparation
    For the sauce: Saute onion in oil until tender.
    Add garlic, oregano, cumin and cinnamon; saute together for a few minutes.
    Stir in flour and chili powder, coating onion mixture.
    Slowly whisk in vegetable (or chicken) stock; reduce until sauce thickens, whisking frequently (this will take about 30 minutes).
    Stir in semisweet chocolate until melted and smooth.
    Assemble enchiladas: Steam or soften tortillas in a lightly greased skillet (although I've been known to skip that step).
    Roll up 1/2 cup (or whatever fits your tortillas) of cheese in each corn tortilla.
    Sprinkle with green onions and pour sauce over.
    Cover baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.
    (Oaxacan cheese takes slightly longer to melt.).
