One of my all-time favorite restaurant meals is Tex-Mex Enchiladas and I’m sure I’m not alone there, but there’s no reason you can’t make a restaurant-quality yourself at home. It turns out that enchilada sauce is a very simple thing to make, and as we’ve learned time and time again, homemade flavor beats canned or jarred any day. Here, we’ll show you how to make an entire authentic Tex-Mex enchilada meal from scratch - the beans, the rice… you might say it’s the whole enchilada!

Being from south Texas, close the the Mexican border, I have to say that you did well. I have never seen anyone put chili powder in rice! Try adding onions or onion powder to the rice. For the beans, remove the browned garlic and place in a blender before adding to the pan for a smoother consistency, and for refried beans i have never seen people add chili powder either and beans will dry on their own without needed corn starch

I am a self taught "Chef" so to speak and I love to cook, I can't eat at a lot of places because my food is better in my opinion. I only say that to say that this enchilada recipe is the best I have ever had. If I find a restaurant that has a dish I like, my wife fusses at me because I will work on my recipes for years to perfect them if they don't meet my taste standards. I would not change a think about this recipe, it is perfect. Thank you for sharing.

Always drain the beans into a bowl and then add the bean liquid back as needed.

@carolinalomeli9128 Жыл бұрын

Yes! The beans need to fry in the fat without liquid before mashing. Bean broth is added to desired consistency afterwards. 👍

@alby711 3 жыл бұрын

This looks reallygood but I would not use chili powder in rice or beans. The rice needs cumin onion bell pepper. Also enchiladas are best made by dipping the tortillas in the sauce then rolling them up. Yes it gets messy but worth it #tejano #texican

@lizziesangi1602 Жыл бұрын

@ That 1.... A matter of taste and personal preference, perhaps? There's nothing wrong with sharing it that way and people trying it for themselves. I like hot sauce on tuna fish and chili powder in lots of stuff including this. Cumin, on the other hand, I'm not a big fan of. Certain items, yes but few. Unfortunately, your suggestions wouldn't work well with me like his don't work well with you. Besides, this is a video of how he makes the food. Why would you come in and tell him to do it another way? He's obviously knows how to cook and this is the way HE shares his tastes and skills. I'll bet he knows all your suggestions but he's showing us his preferences.

I enjoyed the video! Nice techniques, all of the food should be flavorful, with good textures. I watch a lot of these types of videos, and cook a lot of Mexican dishes. First time I've seen chili powder used in the beans, but I'm totally on board! I di my rice a little different. Your enchilada sauce is similar to how my wife makes it, she doesnt enjoy cooking as much as I do, myself, I use dried chiles, Ancho and guajillo. The onion, garlic and tomatoes come out of my garden.

Not sure if you will read this reply... but I feel your pain about Mexican food here in Sweden. I'm from San Diego, CA originally but have lived in Sweden for almost 22 years. San Diego style Mexican food isn't Tex-Mex, but it uses many similar ingredients. I'd love to exchange ideas and recipes with you using ingredients available here in Sweden. It can be done, though with extra steps. 😀

I prefer shredded roast beef for the meat . I also dice onion and jalapeno and cook it with the meat. Then I add the cheese on the inside. I top mine with the sauce and queso fresco. Also the tortillas are better if you dip them in hot oil and fry them for a few seconds then pat the oil off they roll better that way .

Ok for refried beans they have to be refried. Pour them out of the can if you choose to use canned cook em and smash them until all the juice from the can is gone, then add the lard and keep stirring. You fried them once lol, you gotta refry them. Also chicken bullion not tomato bullion, you already put tomato paste, cumin, onion and garlic is all you need for Spanish rice. After the 20 minutes is up on the rice do not remove the lid. Turn off the fire and let it sit for another 10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork. Good effort you'll get there.. Texmex is worth it
