Strawberry Pie Enchiladas (Print)

Flour tortillas stuffed with strawberry filling, drenched in cinnamon-sugar sauce and baked until golden brown.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 can (595g) strawberry pie filling or homemade filling
02 - 6 flour tortillas (20cm diameter)
03 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 115g butter
05 - 100g granulated sugar
06 - 100g brown sugar
07 - 120ml water

→ Homemade Strawberry Filling

08 - 450g fresh strawberries, hulled and divided
09 - 150g sugar
10 - 120ml boiling water
11 - 3 tablespoons cornstarch
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Place 350g of strawberries into a food processor and purée until smooth. Add sugar, boiling water, and cornstarch, blending until fully combined. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking for 3 minutes until thickened to a jam-like consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Halve or quarter remaining strawberries and fold into the sauce.
02 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 23 x 33cm baking dish with butter.
03 - Briefly warm tortillas in microwave to soften if necessary. Spoon approximately 60ml of strawberry filling slightly off-center on each tortilla. Roll tortillas tightly and arrange seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
04 - In a medium saucepan, combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
05 - Pour the hot sugar sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired. Allow to rest for 45 minutes for flavors to meld. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
06 - Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

# Notes:

01 - This dessert combines the technique of rolled enchiladas with sweet strawberry pie filling for an unexpected twist.
02 - The 45-minute rest before baking allows the tortillas to absorb some of the sweet sauce, creating a tender texture.
