Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Fill each tortilla with cheese and roll them up tightly.

Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.

Pour remaining red chili sauce over the enchiladas.

Sprinkle additional cheese on top of the enchiladas.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.

While baking, prepare toppings: chop onion, cilantro, and slice avocado.

Remove enchiladas from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Top with sour cream, chopped onion, cilantro, and avocado slices.

Serve with lime wedges and sliced radishes on the side.
