Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling or homemade strawberry pie filling
- 6 8-inch flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, tops removed, divided
- 3/4 cup sugar (for pie filling)
- 1/2 cup boiling water (for pie filling)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch (for pie filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for pie filling)
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Pie Filling: In your blender, place 1 ½ cups of the fresh strawberries and puree them until smooth. Combine with ¾ cup sugar, boiling water, and cornstarch. Blend until well mixed.
- Cook the Filling: Pour your blended mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly for three minutes until it thickens. Once done, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Dice the remaining strawberries and mix into your sauce.
- Prepare the Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter.
- Soften the Tortillas: Place the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until they are pliable.
- Fill the Tortillas: Spoon about ¼ cup of your strawberry filling off-center on each tortilla. Roll them up gently, placing the seam side down in the prepared dish.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and water or reserved strawberry syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce the heat, allowing to simmer for three minutes.
- Combine and Bake: Pour the hot sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle them with cinnamon if desired. Allow standing for 45 minutes. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, drizzled with additional strawberry syrup if desired.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the strawberry filling a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Consider using whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if needed.
