    These CHEESE ENCHILADAS are neither genuine Mexican nor totally Texan, they are TexMex style, these corn tortillas are stuffed with cheese and smothered in a delicious homemade sauce made with the best seasonings, then topped with a fresh Pico de Gallo and sides with refried beans and Mexican rice, it is a very easy and quick meal to prepare.
    INGREDIENTS
    2 Tbls melted butter
    1 Tbsp vegetable oil
    3 Tbsp All purpose flour
    1 & 1/2 Tbsp chili powder (I like Gebhardt)
    2 tsp Paprika
    1 tsp onion powder
    2 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp oregano
    3 C. chicken broth
    2 tsp tomato paste
    1 & 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon
    1/2 tsp sugar

    Corn tortillas
    American cheese (grated as needed) I used about 3/4 lb. but you use as needed for you.
    chopped Onions for filling (optional)
    FOR TORTILLAS
    1/2 C. vegetable oil
    8 Corn tortillas
    SIDES
    mexican rice
    refried beans
    Pico de gallo
    PICO DE GALLO
    1 C. chopped onions
    1C. diced tomatoes
    1 C. chopped cilantro

    Hello Rachel, I've been passionate about Mexican cuisine for most of my life, I attended SF City College for culinary arts. I've lived in different parts of the country throughout my life. However, I've lived in southern California for most of my life. I was born in Mexicali, Mexico, in the late 70s and moved to the US in 1989. I love mexican food, I love enchiladas, and I make my enchiladas in a traditional way (traditional to the center states of Mexico). When we first moved to the US, we used to have this nice lady as a neighbor. She was originally from Texas, and she used to make a very similar enchiladas sauce to yours. She used to always call me to offer me some of her delicious enchiladas every time she made them. We moved away after about a year, and I never saw or heard about this lovely lady again. Of course, I never had them enchiladas again. I never forgot the taste and smell. I recently came about your video, and I decided to give them a try and voila! It was exactly the taste and smell that I remembered well. Everyone in my family loves them, I,only just started making them about a week ago, and I've already made 3 batches. That's how much I love them! I feel like i found a valuable childhood memory. Thank you so very much! Delicious!!!

She passed a few years back and I can never get her sauce exactly like she had it but now you have helped! I believe your delicious looking sauce is very close to hers. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe and for the way you demo everything. Also thanks for adding the written recipe in the video and below it - this makes everything so much easier. God Bless!

    Oh my word, Rachel. These cheese enchiladas are simply fabulous. I’ve made them twice now (interspersed with several other excellent recipes of yours) and they’re definitely a keeper in our house. I added some diced mild green chiles to the filling, along with sweet onion, and my husband was utterly silent as he quickly cleaned his plate and made room for seconds.

    Rachel, I’m still in the same Texas town where I was born and raised, and Tex-Mex enchiladas are part of every day life around here. We’re in the Houston area and grew up going to Ninfa’s for the recipes of Mama Ninfa. So good! Your recipes, so far, pick up that vibe and more!
    I was always a little jealous of my friends who had Tia’s who would make tamales, enchiladas and much more! I’m just so glad they shared. 😁 You are that sweet Tia when you put on your apron and invite us into your kitchen! Feels like we’re right there with you. ❤
    My Mom and aunts all cooked together as well and we always had wonderful southern food. The best! But you’re the “Tia” of my heart and I just want to thank you for inviting us in to such a special part of your culture. Just like when my friends invited me over for their Tia’s cooking! I’ve subscribed, liked, and planning my list of who to share these recipes with. May God bless you! 😇

    My father worked for "El Chico" restaurant chain for years when I was growing up. He traveled all over Texas and Mexico as far down as Monterrey/Saltillo area. He always said the best enchiladas in all of Mexico were actually in Texas and Northern Mexico and cooked by the Grandmothers in a home kitchen. When the trendy enchiladas started being a 'thing' he would laugh at them. You know the ones, the "spinach tortillas filled with blue goat cheese and sprinkled with macadamia nuts." All that craziness would make him furious. LOL. He would be proud of you for holding down the tradition! He would love your enchiladas I can almost hear him say "¡Well done, Mija!

I went with my father on his business trips a few times to 'drop in' on the restaurants. I remember the Houston one and the San Antonio one. I always will remember the feeling of entering an "El Chico" back in those days. The delicious smell, the low lighting and the COLD air conditioning (in a time when few of us had A.C). Just think, a whole food dynasty was born from a tamale stand just outside the State Fair of Texas gate.

    I never make comments on any UA-cam cooking channel, yours is the first.
    Your recipes are exactly what I grew up on. I Finally found someone who cooks with love like my mother did. I've told my relatives to watch you. I wish I could give you a hug.
    Thank you 😊 💓

    My very first cheese enchilada was back in 1972 in San Diego . I was in the Navy. My shipmate took me to a small Mexican eatery downtown. It was so amazingly delicious ! To this day I remember how tasty the sauce was. I’m going to try making the sauce and see if it brings back memory of my first cheese enchilada .

    You are by far the best Mexican food teacher on the internet. Your food is like my Moms. She was born in Mexico and grew up in Texas. The American cheese was something different. Mom used Colby. Please keep up the good work. You are awesome.

      That's the kind of cheese my mom used in them too. Colby is the best cheese because it has such a complimentary bite.

    Growing up in southern California, this is exactly the way I learned to make cheese enchiladas. I always thought Tex-Mex and Cal-Mex were quite different, but at least for this recipe they're the same. They look yummy!

    Lovely video. My mother only taught us to make stacked enchiladas. She was raised in Arizona and New Mexico and brought her mom's recipe with her to Canada. Stacked enchiladas add shredded lettuce between the layers. Tortilla, sauce (with hamburger), shredded lettuce, cheese, chopped onions, and repeat. Sometimes they were made into a casserole, but most often individually on Pyrex plates, placed in a 350 oven for 15-20 minutes for individual ones. Children can eat 1 - 2 layers and most adults can eat 3-4 layers. I like mine with a fried egg on top.

The sauce is so good that my kids and husband love it when I make the sauce and cut the tortillas in wedges and fry them. We use the sauce like a dip. You’re a wonderful instructor.

My daughter, her friend and I just looked at each other, our mouths full like “what is happening in our mouths right now?”

Now back up in the Bay Area I’m trying to recreate some of those meals I miss. Huge hit with the family, not a morsel left on the plate. Can’t wait to watch your other videos. Thank you

    So glad I found this recipe for the sauce. We used to have enchiladas every Saturday cooked by Sergio. One day he was just gone and the place was closed. I was under the impression he put peanut butter in his wonderful sauce, but maybe it was the way he cooked it that made it nutty tasting. I can't wait to cook this sauce! You make it look so easy!

      @@lavenderlamp no it looked like a chili sauce. This sauce is most like it. I added peanut butter but still missing something. It wasn't spicy at all. I'm going to add vegetable base to it next time. He made everything from scratch. I now make enchiladas once a week and keep playing with it lol. It never tastes bad no matter what I add lol! I have found bone broth is much more flavorful.

      My mom use to make the sauce also out of blended beans. Thanks
