THE BEST RED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
We love the smoky combination of cascabel and guajillo chiles. Using two varieties of dried peppers creates a complex sauce with wonderful depth of flavor, so we recommend seeking them both out. Look for the best-quality corn tortillas you can find. They will have a better flavor and texture and will be easier to work with.

Steps:
- Bring 3 cups water, the chicken, guajillo, cascabel, cilantro stems, garlic, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, peppercorns and coriander seeds to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook on low until the chicken is cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the liquid to a plate (reserve the cooking liquid) and set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones; discard the skin and bones. Shred the meat into small pieces and put into a medium bowl.
- Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
- Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the shredded chicken. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
- Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Spoon 1/4 cup of the shredded chicken across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese melts but doesn't brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
- Top the enchiladas with crema, cilantro leaves and onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
NEW MEXICO-STYLE RED CHILE ENCHILADAS
Most New Mexicans don't roll their enchiladas. This is certainly a less time consuming way of making them with the same great results. Sometimes they even add a fried egg on top of each serving. You may add additional meat, cheese or vegetables if you desire. Just remember to bake as soon as assembled because they get soggy if they sit too long. Prep time does not include making the chile sauce.

EASY RED CHICKEN ENCHILADAS
Starting with a homemade red sauce, these Tex-Mex enchiladas are faster and easier to make than their Mexican forefathers, but still so delicious. This recipe makes 2 1/2 cups sauce, enough for 4 to 6 individual skillet enchiladas or 1 regular baking dish. Garnish with sour cream and guacamole.

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.

Steps:
- Rinse chiles and split open, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs. Heat a dry well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over moderate heat, then toast chiles in batches, turning them, about 30 seconds total. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them. Cover bowl and soak chiles, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes.
- Reserve one fourth of soaking liquid, then purée chiles with remaining liquid in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Pour puréethrough a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids. Whisk in reserved soaking liquid.
- Toast bread crumbs in oil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until pale golden, about 1 minute. Add garlic and oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chile purée, vinegar, and salt and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook onions in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 20 minutes.
- Spoon half of chile sauce evenly over bottom of a lightly oiled 13- by 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish, then cover with 4 tortillas, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle tortillas evenly with one third of cheese, then half of onions and olives. Repeat layering with another 4 tortillas, another third of cheese, and remaining onions and olives. Top with remaining 4 tortillas, sauce, and cheese. Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
RED CHILE ENCHILADAS
I stumbled upon this recipe ages ago but recently came across it in my recipe box. These are the best red enchiladas I have ever tasted! The store bought canned red sauce is bitter and has an off taste but the sauce in this recipe is awesome! You may use ground beef for the meat but I prefer to use shredded beef roast. I usually triple the recipe to have leftovers for the kids.

- For the Red Chile Sauce: Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Once the skillet is warm, add the unpeeled garlic. Toast the garlic, turning occasionally, until they turn soft. About 10 minutes. Cool and peel.
- Add the dried chile peppers to the hot pan. Press them with a spatula until a wisp of smoke appears. Turn them immediately and toast on the other side. In a bowl, cover the chiles with water and let the soak 30 minutes. Stir them after 15 minutes to make sure they all rehydrate evenly. Drain and discard the water.
- Combine oregano, black pepper, cumin, cloves, peeled garlic, chiles and broth in a food processor. Process to a smooth puree, scraping the sides of the bowl every few seconds. Then press the sauce through a medium mesh strainer into a wide shallow bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and stir. It should be the consistency of a tomato sauce. Add more broth if needed.
- Prepare the toppings. Crumble the Cotija cheese. Slice the lettuce into thin ribbons cutting across the leaves and toss with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Thin slice the radishes. Chop the onion. Chop the cilantro. Slice the jalapeno peppers. Cut the zucchini into matchstick shaped pieces. 1/4 inch thick and about 2 inches long. Cut the green olives in half.
