¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped

½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
18 street taco size corn tortillas

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 200°. In medium saucepan, heat 8 cups water to a boil over high heat; add carrots and potatoes. Cook 10 minutes or until tender; drain.
In small saucepan, heat enchilada sauce over low heat 10 minutes or until warm, stirring occasionally.
In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; add onion and cook 3 minutes or until translucent, stirring occasionally. Add oregano, salt, cumin, carrots, potatoes and 1 cup enchilada sauce; cook 8 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Makes about 4 cups.
In separate large skillet, heat ¼ cup oil over medium heat 1 minute or until oil shimmers. In batches, fry tortillas 1 minute, turning once.
For each montada, dip 1 tortilla in enchilada sauce, allowing excess to drip off; place on rimmed baking pan and spread with 1/3 cup potato mixture. Repeat layers; top with 1 tortilla dipped in enchilada sauce. Repeat with remaining tortillas and potato mixture to make 5 more montadas; place in oven to keep warm.
In 2 batches, in same large skillet, cook eggs in remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat 3 minutes or to desired doneness. Serve enchiladas topped with eggs, cheese, jalapeños, sour cream and cilantro; serve with avocado, if desired.
