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:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, and cook until browned. Season with cumin and chili powder. Pour in the enchilada sauce, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- In a separate skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas. Don't fry them, just warm them until they are flexible.
- To assemble the enchiladas, dip a tortilla in the enchilada sauce, and place it on a serving plate. Spoon some of the meat and sauce on, then add shredded lettuce, cheese, onion and sour cream. Top with another tortilla that has been dipped in the sauce. You may repeat the layering as many times as you wish depending on your appetite. Make additional stacks for each person. Top stacks with a fried egg, if desired.

TRADITIONAL NEW MEXICO RED CHILE CHEESE "STACKED" ENCHILADAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Each serving will contain 3 corn tortillas. Take the tortilla and dip it in hot oil or dip it in the red chile sauce and put on plate. Top this with cheese and onion and more sauce and put another dipped tortilla on top and repeat this 2 times. Heat in the oven or under the broiler until cheese melts and top with a fried egg. Garnish the plate with the lettuce and tomato. You can serve this with fried potatoes or pinto beans.
- To make a casserole, you can layer the above in a baking dish with the final layer on top being cheese, do not put eggs on the casserole. Bake for about 20 minutes, until all is warm and melted. Garnish with lettuce and tomato. Can also serve with sour cream, chopped olives and guacamole.
- Remove the stems and seeds of the chile pods. Soak the pods in water or simmer on stove for about 10 minutes. Place chile and garlic in a blender with 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth. (Use 6 to 8 pods of chile and 2 cloves of garlic at a time, which will make the puree smoother and easier to work with.) Add more water as needed to get a medium consistency. In a sauce pan, add pureed chile with Mexican Oregano and salt to taste. Bring to a slow boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes. Pork can be browned and added to sauce while simmering.
NEW MEXICO-STYLE STACKED ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas just got an authentic and tasty upgrade. Instead of the classic enchilada roll, the New Mexico-Style Enchiladas are stacked together with a mixture of melted cheese and enchilada sauce in between each layer, stacking up to a mighty 4 layer dish. As Test Kitchen pro Ivy Odom puts it, "It's the New Mexican version of lasagna." As if these ooey-gooey enchiladas couldn't get any better, the stacks are topped with an over-easy egg and tasty garnishes like cilantro, lettuce, tomato, and onion. These stacks are made individually, making it easy to personalize and customize with your favorite toppings. Serve this hearty and fiesta friendly dish alongside some fresh salsa and chips. If you're looking for a fresh new Mexican cuisine, try your hand at these savory and flavorful enchiladas. One bite and you'll be convinced to add this recipe to your weeknight meal rotation.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Place enchilada sauce in a small saucepan and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook tortillas, one at a time, until just starting to change color, but are still limp and pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Pour all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet to a heat-proof bowl; discard when cool. Reserve 2 tablespoons oil in skillet off heat.
- Dip one tortilla in warm enchilada sauce, so that sauce lightly coats both sides. Place tortilla on an oven-safe plate or baking sheet. Spoon about 2 tablespoons sauce over tortilla, then sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons cheese. Dip a second tortilla in warm enchilada sauce, so that sauce lightly coats both sides. Layer tortilla on top of first tortilla on plate or baking sheet. Spoon another 2 tablespoons sauce over tortilla, then sprinkle with another 3 tablespoons cheese. Repeat process with remaining tortillas, sauce, and cheese so that you have 4 total enchilada stacks. Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- While enchiladas are baking, heat reserved 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium. Add 2 eggs to oil in skillet; season with half of salt. Cook eggs until desired degree of doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for over-easy. Transfer to a plate once cooked; set aside. Repeat with remaining eggs and salt.
- When cheese is melted, remove enchiladas from oven. Top each stack with one egg and garnish evenly with cilantro, tomato, onion, and lettuce.

NEW MEXICAN STACKED ENCHILADAS
This recipe is most like the one I lost in a move. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks similar. In New Mexico, enchiladas are traditionally stacked, rather than rolled. They consist of a red chile sauce and cheese. Meat is not traditional- and there should never be any tomato in the sauce. A fried egg is served on top- it helps cut the heat. I have not tried this recipe- but it looks close to the very old family recipe that my sister was given. Lost the old recipe, so I hope this one is good. From Cocinas De New Mexico cookbook. Freezes well. *For best taste you can make your own chile powder- directions will be at the bottom of the recipe. I guessed on prep time.

CHEESE ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas are an essential component of Houston's ebullient, dynamic foodways. Mexican in origin, while distinctly Tex-Mex at the same time, the dish adapts to its surroundings. Each version of enchiladas is deeply local: The style ubiquitous in Monterrey, Mexico, will be different from those found in San Antonio or El Paso or Mexico City. But from enchilada to enchilada, the common denominator is deliciousness. In "The Enchilada Queen Cookbook," Sylvia Casares notes, "for Tex-Mex-style cheese enchiladas, yellow cheese, such as Cheddar, is the traditional choice" yielding "the quintessential Tex-Mex enchilada."

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch shallow baking dish or pan or a very large cast-iron skillet.
- Add the oil and flour to a medium skillet. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture (known as roux) turns a golden color, smells nutty and thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add garlic, chile powder, cumin, oregano and black pepper to the roux. Whisk until smooth (some clumping from the garlic is fine), being careful to not let the spices burn, about 30 seconds.
- While whisking constantly, add beef broth 1/4 cup at a time, whisking after each addition, until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat, and allow the gravy to rest for another 10 minutes. Taste the gravy and season with salt as needed for a savory sauce.
- Meanwhile, in another pan, lightly heat a tortilla over medium just until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or sheet of foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them in the towel or foil. Be careful of overcooking: You're softening each tortilla to prevent them from cracking as they're filled and folded.
- Fill a softened tortilla with about ⅓ cup of cheese. Roll shut and, with the seam side facing downward, place in the greased baking dish or skillet. Repeat until you've filled all of the tortillas, setting the rolls next to each other.
- Slowly pour the gravy over all of the tortillas to coat. Afterward, sprinkle the dish with the rest of the cheese and the diced onion.
- Bake until the gravy is bubbling and the cheese melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley, if desired, alongside a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
