Brush the tortillas with a dab of butter and salsa and fry them lightly, about 30 seconds on each side. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 ° F. For the filling: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the garlic, onion, and red and green peppers until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the rice, tomato, salt, cumin, chili powder, and cheeses. Spread the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the filling among them, placing about 1/3 cup in a line down the center of each. Spread the filling and roll up the tortillas. Place the tortillas, seam side down, on a large baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a blender or food processor, puree the garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro with the sour cream and yogurt. Add the salsa, salt, and cumin, and process until smooth. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and stir in the scallions. Just before serving, heat the sauce until hot and spoon it over the enchiladas and serve. Typed by Karen C.
