So I love mexican food but ive never really been taught properly how to make good mexican. This is a modification of a recipe i found on the interwebs. Ive made it a couple of times and whether or not it is authentic mexican, I will leave to you guys because I really dont care. It tastes freaking awesome!

This recipe can easily feed 2-3 folks and can easily be doubled/tripled. Here we go!

Gather your ingredients!


1/2 can green chilis
1 pack of fajita mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup of chicken broth
1 lb ground beef or chicken
Tortillas
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tbsp butter
Seasoning salt
Cumin
Chili pepper
Mozzerella cheese
1 can Enchilada sauce

Brown the beef and then add 3/4 can of enchilada sauce, 3/4 pack of fajita seasoning and then seasoning salt, cumin, and chili powder to taste.



In a seperate pot, melt butter then add flour and stir with heat until it starts bubbling.



Add chicken broth and then heat. Just prior to boil, add sour cream and stir it smooth. Add 1/2 can of chilis (i put the whole can in because I love the damn things), the rest of enchilada sauce, the rest of the fajita packet and some seasoning salt. Dont get this too hot or else the sour cream will curdle.



Then get your torillas and stuff them with meat and a pinch of cheese. Roll them and put them in a greased dish.




Pour the sauce over the enchilladas. I always have a little extra meat so I will throw it on the top. Cover the whole thing with mozz cheese and then bake at 350F for 25 minutes. I know enchiladas have corn tortillas but i hate those so low carb wheat torts it is.





I forgot to take a plated pic so all i got is the "almost finished eating" pic.



Man. That is gonna make a mighty fine turd!

Think I remember someone having a pictorial of a homemade sauce. All kinds of chili peppers ground up. Need to search. Was a great thread.

These are good.... really really good. Fido98 is a hell of a cook. You can substitute a beef filling as well.



Enchilada Sauce:
1/2lb 90/10 ground beef
1/4 cup Oil
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp Tomato paste
1 crushed garlic clove
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried mexican oregano
2 T Pure (New Mexico) chile powder (I grind my own, of course)
1 T Ancho Chile Powder -
3 cups chicken broth (or water)

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown meat (Don't drain) Stir in the flour and continue stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it begins to darken. Add the rest of the ingredients except the broth and cook about a minute more. Add chicken broth or water and cook until the sauce thickens. Turn heat to low and let sauce simmer for 15 minutes. Add water/broth to adjust the thickness.

Cheese Enchiladas
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 Large Homemade corn tortillas
1 cup each shredded cheddar/jack/Deluxe american cheese

Preheat the oven to 450.
Pour the oil in a small skillet, heat oil until about 150 and dip the tortillas one at a time for a few seconds until softened. Drain & stack them in foil keeping wrapped between tortillas

Pour 1/2 cup of sauce in a baking pan.
Take a tortilla, add about 1/4c cheese and roll it. Place rolled tortilla in baking dish, seam side down. Continue until you are out of room in the pan. Take remaining enchilada sauce, and pour it over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese or grate new cheese if you are out. Bake for 10 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.

fido98's red chile rice with cilantro

1Tbsp Vegetable oil
1/4 onion finely diced
1 medium clove garlic minced
2tsp chile powder (Homemade or labeled Pure or New Mexico)
1tsp cumin
1Tsp salt
1 Tbls Tomato paste
1 Cup long grain rice
2 Cups Chicken broth
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

In a preferably non-stick sauce pan saute onion in oil until tender. Add everything else except broth and cilantro and saute 1 minute more. Add Broth and bring to a simmer on high heat. Cover pot and turn heat to low. Set timer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat. Do not remove lid for another 10 minutes and let rice steam. Remove lid, add cilantro and fluff rice.
