I don't do enchiladas because A) I haven't gotten the sauce quite right and B) the store-bought tortillas just turn to mush.
But man, go to Mexico and have them use Grandma's old tortilla recipe and you can dunk those things in a bucket of ice water and they'll still maintain their form. And if you ever got that recipe from them somehow, they'd bury you in a hole in the desert before they let you get back home alive with it.
I've found some okay tortilla techniques/recipes but I'm pretty sure when it comes down to it it's nothing more than feel and lard. Lots and lots of lard. [Reply]

Sauce is flour, corn starch, oil, tomato sauce, cumin, celery salt, chili powder, garlic powder, mixed pepper blend.
Tortillas I get from a local company named Yoli Tortilleria. They make some great stuff. And I can't make tortillas worth a shit.
I used normal cheddar cheese to mix in the enchilada meat. But the melted cheese on top, I used this awesome Longhorn colby jack from Alma, KS cheese shop. Made a nice melty finish on top. [Reply]
During my extended stay in Bonaire Mrs. GloryDayz decided to get new kitchen appliances, including an oven.. So after a morning of doing an initial cleaning and burn-in I decided to do oven spare ribs. Hardly perfect, lots to learn about this new range/oven, but I can't blame the range for me over-spicing them.. Oh well, a little scraping made them taste acceptable, but the texture was spot on..
