Ingredients
For the Strawberry Pie Filling
1 pound fresh strawberries, tops removed and divided
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Or 1 21 ounce can strawberry pie filling
For the Enchiladas
6 8 inch flour tortillas
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Place 1 1/2 cups of strawberries in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Add sugar, boiling water, and cornstarch. Blend until fully combined.
- Pour mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 3 minutes until thick and glossy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Slice remaining strawberries and fold into the thickened sauce.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Warm tortillas slightly if needed to make them easier to roll.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of filling slightly off center on each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down in the prepared dish.
- In a saucepan, combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 minutes while stirring.
- Pour syrup evenly over tortillas and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Let rest for 45 minutes.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve warm.
Notes
The strawberry filling may separate when refrigerated. Reheat gently in a saucepan and stir until smooth again.
Allow the enchiladas to rest before baking so the syrup can soak into the tortillas for the best texture.
Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained first.
