You empty them out of the can into a pan with your desired fat (lard,
clarified butter, peanut oil, extra light olive oil) and re-fry them,
silly. You don't *shudder* actually EAT them fat free.

You know what's pretty decent out of the can is La Victoria Enchilada
Sauce.

It's better if you add a bit of Penzey's chile, Arbol and/or Aleppo,
and simmer it.

The Penzey's Aleppo is really spectacular. I can eat the flakes right
out of the bag.
