Stuffing<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Heat 1 tb oil in heavy large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add potatoes
and cook until golden, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
Add chili powder and cumin and cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, sliced green
onions and tomato sauce. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 6
minutes. Add 1/3 c Jack cheese, egg, cilantro, and jalapeno and stir until
cheese melts. Season with salt and cayenne.

Brush large skillet with oil and place over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla and
cook until softened, 30 seconds per side. Transfer to work surface. Top
tortilla with 1/3 cup filling and roll up. Place seam side down in baking
dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, brushing skillet with
oil as necessary. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add
chopped onions and garlic and saute 5 minutes. Mix in cumin seeds, chili
powder, dried oregano and ground cinnamon and saute 1 minute. Add enchilada
sauce and tomato sauce and simmer 2 minutes. Mix in fresh lime juice.
Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. (Can be prepared 2 days
ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat before using.)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle
with feta and remaining 1 1/3 cups Jack cheese. Cover with foil. Bake until
heated through and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream and
green onions.

Note: Although I'm sure that the _Bon Appetite_ chefs know exactly what
they are talking about, I find that, at high temperatures, olive oil breaks
down a great deal, begins to smoke, and sets off fire alarms all over. I
use peanut oil and a wok to saute potatoes since, as far as skillets go, I
don't have non-stick and heavy all in one. Additionally, I don't use any
extra salt in the dish, finding it amply seasoned without.
