Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees.

  2. Step 2.

    Heat oil in 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

  3. Step 3.

    Add onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4.

    Add chili powder, flour, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5.

    Gradually whisk in broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  6. Step 6.

    Measure out 1 cup of sauce and set aside, leaving the remaining sauce in the skillet.

  7. Step 7.

    Stack tortillas and wrap in a damp dish towel. Microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds.

  8. Step 8.

    Place ¼ cup Monterey Jack across the center of 1 tortilla, tightly roll the tortilla around the cheese, and place the seam side down in the skillet. Repeat with remaining five tortillas and 1¼ cups Monterey Jack, arranging enchiladas side by side in a single row in the skillet.

  9. Step 9.

    Pour reserved sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup Monterey Jack.

  10. Step 10.

    Bake, covered, until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until sauce is bubbling around edges, about 5 minutes longer.

  11. Step 11.

    Sprinkle with onion and serve with lime wedges.
