Recipe detials:

4 c Pitted green or black -olives, roughly chopped 3 c Raisins 12 lg Flour tortillas Chilisalya 1 lb Gouda cheese, shredded The original recipe from Mrs. Robert Y. McBride, which appreared in "The Los Angeles Times Cookbook Number Three" (1908), included instructions for making tortillas - flour, rather than corn - because they weren't yet available in stores. The olive-and-raisin filling and the use of Gouda, instead of cheese, were common at the time. "Chilisalya" was clearly a misreading of a handwritten recipe for chili salsa. Notice the use of tarragon vinegar, a seemingly modern, though not particularly , idea. Mix olives and raisins in bowl. In bowl, dip 1 tortilla in Chilisalya and place on work surface. Put 1/12 of olive-raisin mixture on tortilla, add 1 tablespoon Chilisalya and some cheese. Roll tortilla up and place in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Pour remaining Chilisalya on tortillas in baking dish and sprinkle enchiladas with remaining cheese. Bake at 325 degrees 10-15 minutes.

Makes 12 enchiladas, or 6-12 servings.
