Heat extra light olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.

Dip corn tortillas into the hot oil for about 2 seconds until they bubble up.

Drain excess oil from the tortillas and dip them into the enchilada sauce.

Place the tortilla on a tray to cool slightly.

Fill each tortilla with a fair amount of grated mild cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of finely diced yellow onion.

Roll the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in an oven-safe dish.

Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well covered.

Preheat the oven to 400°F to 425°F.

Bake the enchiladas for about 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
