AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS
This is the real thing! Corn tortillas are dipped in a home made sauce, fried, filled with Mexican queso fresco, then topped with sour cream, lettuce and tomato. My mother in law is from Mexico and taught me to make this delicious dish! Serve with authentic refried beans, it has a taste different from the norm--so good!

Steps:
- Snap the tops off of the dried chilies, and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water, and place chilies into a food processor or blender with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth. Press sauce through a strainer, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Soak each tortilla in the sauce, then place in the hot oil. Turn over almost immediately, and fry for about 5 seconds on the other side. Remove to a plate that is lined with paper towels. The easiest way to do this is to fry the tortillas and stack them directly on top of each other until you have fried them all. This will keep the tortillas pliable until you are ready to fill them.
- Take one fried tortilla at a time, and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the queso fresco. Roll up, and place seam side down on a plate. Place three of these on each plate. Top in the following order: Start with a layer of sour cream, then a small handful of lettuce, three tomato slices, 2 more tablespoons of queso fresco, and finally, 1 tablespoon of green onions.

Steps:
- Let us begin by shredding the entire brick of cheese. If you are as crazy about cheese as I am, you might even shred a few cups more.
- In a large bowl combine the shredded pork, half the cheese, Black Beans, and one can of the olives. Add a little pepper, maybe some salt and chili powder to taste.
- In another large bowl put two cans of Tomato sauce, and add a generous amount of Chili Powder. (No kidding that's all real enchilada sauce is).
- In a deep sided pan place the corn oil and bring to a high enough heat to deep fry.
- A rookie mistake is failing to cook the tortillas prior to use. This is why the tortillas break apart when you try to roll them. All tortillas require cooking prior to use, they come only partially cooked normally. One by one take your corn tortillas and place then in the oil. when the tortillas are still limp, but on the verge of becoming stiff, lift them out and drop them in the bowl of enchilada sauce to cool.
- Here comes the messy part. Take the tortilla dripping with enchilada sauce and place it on a cutting board. Scoop up the shredded pork and cheese mixture and add it in a thick line across the tortilla. Roll the tortilla into a tube and place in a square/rectangular baking dish or pan.
- Repeat.
- When the pan is full of lovely enchiladas, poor the sauce from the bowl over the whole affair, but don't drown it.
- Add the rest of the cheese and olives on top.
- Bake in oven at 350°F for approx 15-20 minutes.
- Use a spatula to remove the enchiladas two at a time to a plate. Garnish with sour cream if desired.
- Recommended side dish: Refried Beans and Spanish style rice of course!

ENCHILADAS CON CARNE
There are a few cool tricks to this recipe, one of which I picked up from an old issue of Bon Appétit, one I learned from Robb Walsh, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur who runs El Real Tex-Mex in Houston, and a final one I learned by happenstance. First, for the thickening agent in the chile sauce, toast raw all-purpose flour in a pan until it is nutty and golden brown, then reserve it to stir in with the browned beef later in the recipe. Second, if you like truly melty cheese in the classic Tex-Mex tradition, use a mixture of American cheese, like Velveeta, with the Cheddar you use inside and on top of the finished enchiladas. Finally, if you're fearful that a casserole of cheese, chili and fried tortillas may be a little rich for dinner, serve it with a bowl of tomatillo pineapple salsa on the side. The acidity provides a nice balance. (Note also that as with all recipes, but particularly this one, some planning and practice can get the preparation down to 60 minutes.)

Steps:
- Prepare the chili con carne: Put flour in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to turn golden brown and smell nutty, then pour it onto a plate to cool.
- Wipe out sauté pan and return it to high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot and shimmery, add ground beef to pan, and cook, breaking it up with a fork and stirring, until it is well browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then use a slotted spoon to remove meat to a bowl, leaving drippings behind.
- Add onion, garlic and jalapeño to pan and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits of meat, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Stir in tomatoes and cook until their liquid has evaporated, then add chile powder, cumin and oregano and stir to combine. After a minute or so, when mixture begins to turn fragrant, return browned meat to pan, along with toasted flour, and stir well to combine.
- Lower heat to medium-high and slowly stir in chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time, until mixture has thickened and started to simmer. Lower heat again and allow chili to cook slowly for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is tender. Add more stock or water if needed. Use immediately, or let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a few days.
- When you are ready to cook the enchiladas, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 cup neutral oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Using a ladle, put about 1/2 cup chili in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of cheese into each tortilla, along with a tablespoon or so of chili, then place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle remaining chili over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle chopped onions over the top, if using, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place roast in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover roast with water and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium/high and brown roast on all sides. Once the water has boiled away and the roast is browned, add beef broth, vinegar, chili powder and cumin. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beef falls apart. Shred the beef. Place shredded beef back into saucepan with all the juices and cool to room temperature.
- In a large skillet, saute onion util soft. Mix in flour and green chilies. Stir for 2 minutes to cook off the flour taste. Stir in sour cream and 2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is melted and mixed thoroughly. Set aside and let cool.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil. Fry the tortillas in the hot oil for 30 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread 4 tablespoons of sour cream mixture down the center of the tortilla. Top with the same amount of the beef mixture (yes, this will be juicy and messy). Roll up and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat for each tortilla, until you are out of filling. Sprinkle with remaining Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- **Note: If you prefer a milder dish, omit the 4 ounce can of jalapeno peppers and replace it with another can of diced green chilies.
- I serve each enchilada on a bed of shredded lettuce sprinkled with diced tomatoes. I top each enchilada with a dollup of sour cream and serve with a side of salsa.
