Man I swear my mouth got watery reading this stuff.. I got hungry LOL

tdawnaz ;I've never sampled any food while "south of the border" only have been across twice.Anyway I call the layered version "Mexican lasagna" .
I caught enchalaco burritos: enchilada taco burritos.
Not far from the way I make enchiladas.Except when I have time I like the homemade enchilada sauce.On the canned enchilada sauce look for one without tomato sauce primarily red chillis.
Again if you have time some diced fresh jalapenos are good.
I do the inside cheese when I roll mine but don't add the top cheese till the cool down time.
But that's my way since I've burned the top cheese before.
I definitely love the chopped green onions as a topping.

Shug7272 ;I hadn't looked up the definition of enchilada but glad to know.I think mole  would be an added ingredient to the enchilada sauce (not my preference but however someone likes it.More likely some"Mexican chocolate" (look that up)would just be added to the enchilada sauce.
I know some use a tomato based sauce I think this is too much tomato for my taste since I like to either put fresh diced tomatoes on top or salsa.So it's just where you like to add the tomatoes.
Personally I'm not that fond of tomatillos but again what even a person likes.
The salsa I use would be hotter than most prefer.& when I do make the blender recipe enchilada sauce you better follow it with some ice cream because your going to need it the next day.
Heres a switch this is my oriental vegetables & meat dish:
First for the meat my preference is beef steak cut into approx.1 inch cubes.But you can use pork or chicken.Probably other meats I just haven't tried it with anything else.
Then marinate the cubes in a mixture of soy sauce,black pepper, garlic powder, some Tabasco sauce & cayenne pepper.Then if you like it Chinese Mustard.I also mix in some water to weaken the soy.Marinate it about 2 hours.
Then drain some canned sliced water chestnuts,bamboo shoots, & bean sprouts(can use fresh if you like).
Slice some celery.
Another option is onion strips(just separate the onion slice & cut each ring once).Save the liquid from the water chestnuts& bamboo shoots but not the bean sprouts.
Put a little oil in a skillet; heat the skillet.Put in the meat with the marinate & water chestnuts  cook covered for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally.Then add the bamboo shoots ,celery ,& onion strips.If it looks like it needs it add some of the reserved liquid. cover & cook 10 more minutes stirring occasionally.
Finally add the bean sprouts & if you like snow peas.Cook 10 more minutes covered again adding liquid if needed.
Taste if the bean sprouts and/or snow peas taste done it's ready.If not cook it a little more. I serve over plain cooked rice but you can serve this over chow mien noodles or both if you like.
I didn't put quantities because this depends on how many you are making this for.

 

Damn momma I grew up on and around the Mexican border and never knew about the cup of butter. Fat dipped in fat, defiantly Mexican food and delicious.  Thats one thing I hate about Texas, its all Tex Mex and no traditional Mex. In Roswell there was TONS of traditional holes in the wall type joints. They were the best, you know the place that looks like you would catch a disease by eating there... ALWAYS the best food. MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


I am going to try to get the wife to cook your enchalaco burritos this weekend they sound AWESOME!!! I think chicken would suit my taste better but the beef would work. Turkey just sounds wrong... but that would probably be the one I liked most if I were to try it. 

Momma you need to try the Mexican Cornbread (actually I think priss calls it Beefy cornbread). It is DEEEELICIOUS. I know, I know... it sounds kinda gross but it is hella good. You can cheat and open a huge can of Bushs Pinto beans and it is a quick and easy but VERY filling meal. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

WOW man as a matter of fact I have eaten at Cortez's (I LOVED it. ), they had one in Roswell as well at one time but I think it is gone. I dont even know if they are still open in Carlsbad do you? I bet that tortilla factory you speak of is bomb ass. I LOVE traditional flour tortillas. I too have eaten at a place that served their salsa heated and even though the flavor was good the fact that it was heated made me turn my nose up so I totally know what you are talking about.  Who heats their salsa?..? I guess its for some but not all.
