Ok, Mexican here and I have a few things to say: 1) These are not enchiladas, but it is close to an actual dish named "pastel azteca" (aztec cake). About the technique, it would be better done like a lasagna by mixing layers of full sized fried tortilla, cheese and chicken or in this case, their pork. You could also add some corn or poblano. 2)Soggy tortillas are not a big no no in actual Mexican cooking since we even have tortilla soup or soggy chilaquiles. But the way they broke them into tiny bits is wrong, you will end with lots of tiny lumps, which are bad for texture. 3) Enchiladas are already a lazy dish, I could make enchiladas with fresh salsa in half the time, effort and ingredients this thing took. 4) who the hell puts olives on their enchiladas?

[@realdragon]

Never heard of aztec cake but I will check it out, thanks

[@thornback5641]

I have a Puerto Rican friend who's wife makes empanadas and enchiladas with green olives with pimento(nor black) and its a family tradition for them. But unlike Jacks friends recipe its actually good food(enough that they are working towards making a food truck- and all my coworkers who are various ethnicities like them). So my guess is more European influences for this variety. *not to say Jacks friend made it well, I think like all Jack food its gross.

[@israelquezada9936]

@@ChefJamesMakinson OK, I already watched it and there's a lot of things I can say they did wrong. Here in México, there are about 10 traditional ways of making enchiladas they vary from region to region and none of them use that canned sauce, in fact I've tasted that sauce and it's nothing at all like any sauce we use to make enchiladas, we use fresh chiles or dried chiles depending on the style and we always prepare the sauce from scratch. There's a variety of enchiladas that use mole rojo or mole dulce (sweet mole) which are my favorite. There's no cheddar cheese in Mexican food and we never use it for enchiladas, I understand that it's difficult to find traditional mexican cheese like queso fresco in the US, and there are many Mexican cheeses that you can use for enchiladas like cotija cheese and Chihuahua cheese, which are the ones we usually use for this. Also, enchiladas are never made with tortilla chips, they're always made with corn tortillas and we never use flour tortillas.

You: "No, but it's really good if you -- Midwesterner: "Not interested." Seriously though, I know prepackaged foods are a part of midwestern culture. In the 19th century, in the days before refrigeration, and not being near to any cities or coasts or...anything, really, they relied heavily on canned and dried foods. And that aesthetic never really went away. But...wouldn't you WANT it to go away? Now that you can get so many fresh and high quality foods even in the deep center of the country, why would you keep doing this? I mean, if everything is coming out of a can, bag, or box, why waste your time and mess up your kitchen? Just order a pizza.

[@elheber]

This is closer to chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are fried tortilla chips with chiles, tomato, onions and a protein (optional) sauteed in a salsa and topped with cheese and cilantro. It's one of those refrigerator-clearing dishes (like fried rice) and will happily use up any stale tortillas and leftover meats from last night's big family dinner or party. As such, you see chilaquiles made in lots of ways and none of them are wrong ways. But with chilaquiles the tortillas are firm, not mush like this.

[@CaecoAequitas1]

yeah thats a big part of hispanic food imo, not soggy mess but firm with the soft is important. Like I hate most texmex stuff with bland ass queso on everything but taco salad with crunchy chips is good.

I don’t know if this reminds me of chilaquiles at all. They aren’t made like this.

@@Trag3dyInV3nus Enchiladas aren't made like this either. These would be a casserole chilaquiles as opposed to casserole enchiladas. And I still didn't call these chilaquiles; only "closer to chilaquiles than enchiladas."

Thank you so much!!

[@Dakarn]

I make something LIKE this, but differently. My family calls it "Mexican Casserole". We use corn tortillas, not chips. It's layered like a lasagna. Tortillas, meat, cheese, enchilada sauce, repeat. The meat gets fully cooked first, and you only bake it for as long as it takes the cheese on top to begin to brown and the sauce bubbles. That way, the tortillas still have texture. We usually top it with a "side salad" of lettuce, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro. If we want enchiladas, we just make enchiladas. That's nuts. They just made a horrible soggy version of Chilesquiles from Hell.

[@mramisuzuki6962]

I also make a frozen burrito casserole like this, too. I damn well know its college/prison food, but that is baked barf. I know what she made taste good, because obviously all this things taste good, but the texture, yikes.

[@Mike-yi9rj]

Might try that sounds good!

[@xoxoevi.805]

SAME! I make Enchilada Casserole too and I use tortillas (tortillas should be gently fried in oil so they don't turn to mush), I use El Pato sauce for my enchiladas, and I don't burn the eff out of the cheese.... it's only supposed to be in the oven for max 15 minutes, only enough for the cheese to melt.....

[@Gnomig01]

but see, aomething like this as a lasgna when layered, can still work great. ench sauce to line pan, layer of tortillas, layer of steak or chicken with grilled peppers and onions, layer of cheese, more ench sauce, top layer of shells, cheese, some tomatillo sauce drizzle and sourcream drizzles. some olives, cilantro, diced tomato or pico...would be much more edible

My wife and I do something similar with the sauce (we like to make a red sauce with guajillos to make enchiladas rojas), but after that we place them in a pan with some oil to fry them a little and then add our meat/cheese/potatoes (whichever you prefer, I typically go with chicken) and then roll them up in the pan to finish frying them (maybe flip it once or twice to make sure it's cooked evenly).

This reminds of my elementary school food. My school was quite poor, and usually served the food cold as our heating lamps didn't work and the school couldn't replace them so only the fifth graders (who got to eat first) got warm food. And the food typically consisted of """pasta""" dishes with sides of a rotation of green beans, peas, or carrots and a slice of white bread with a pad of butter and skim milk to drink. Question for those who may have had similar public school experience, ours was so poor that we couldn't even afford to have enough teachers or classrooms where each grade had it's own separate class. All the way through fifth grade we shared at least two different grades in one room at the same (e.g. kindergarten and first graders, second and third graders, fourth and fifth graders). I never really thought where I grew up was a particularly poor area, but who knows. And it's not like this was a long time ago, this was early 2000s.

[@woolzem]

Yes!! It depended on when you got through the line. Honestly I think most of the United States hasn't put a lot of money into school budget/lunches and the like.

[@woolzem]

I also had that teacher rotation up to Jr. High School. We had elementary, intermediate, Jr. High, and High School.

Jacks lazy man series always drives me crazy because part of being a good chef/cook is knowing when a shortcut won’t sacrifice the end result too much and when doing things the hard way is worth it. You could definitely make “shortcut” enchiladas that are almost as good as making them from scratch but jack has such terrible judgement on taking shortcuts that he’d never be able to do that

[@playcube4564]

I want to see jack play mario kart, lazy man's shortcut would be going across the offroad dirt path for like 30 seconds

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

this is what happens when someone has no idea of cooking

[@VenathTehN3RD]

I mean, at this point why not just go all the way with the "lazy man" route and just order out? Literally no cooking, not even driving if you get delivery. Just order and eat. Sure, if you order something really high quality it'll probably cost more, but quality obviously isn't the goal here so it should be pretty easy to find something that's not particularly any more expensive than the ingredients + cost of gas for driving to/from the grocery store.

[@saoandfatefan9322]

Loved watching your reaction to this "enchilada" war crime, this was highly entertaining to watch, and honestly this is pretty tame compared to the raw chicken that he "cooked" and consumed, still a war crime against the real thing, just like his "lasange" which is also quite the shocker

[@Amanda_Butterfly]

I think the milk she mentioned at around 7:40 is to make warm milk to settle you down after the nightmare of this recipe!!! Feel SO much better about my own cooking skills now!! Well done James for making it through this!!!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣

[@flowertrue]

That's true. I hadn't thought of it that way. Compared to Jack, I'm a great cook! 😆

I've never seen someone make a cornbread/lasagna hybrid with a nacho recipe. Topped off with the Dora The Explorer level Spanish lessons. Stupendous.

I once got really bad food poisoning from pizza. The final product of the video has given me an appreciation for what my toilet had to endure that night.

[@throughmyshadow]

My family used to do something sort of similar, but with WAY less sauce, and we layered tortillas instead of mushy tortilla chips. We called it mexican lasagna, and apparently its pretty common (googled "mexican lasagna" to see if I'm crazy).

[@ivito514]

The face that you make when you see her mixing up that mess is breath taking, you made me laugh so much 😂 I had Enchiladas in mexico and even in a tex mex restaurant and they look nothing like this pseudo-lasagna mixture. We have an americanized thing here called the old el paso mix, and it's to make tacos, it's basically a fried tortilla un a "U" shape, so you take ground beef and you mix it with the powder and stuff and you make your "tacos" that way, when mexicans (from mexico) see that, they either laugh or they're puzzled. Making tortillas is so easy, it's maseca, water and a pinch of salt, if they would at least do that, stuff with the meat, onion mix and put that red sauce on it, it would have been better, but I have an idea of how you felt when you saw that muddy mess, so I understand how it looks disgusting especially after breakfast, thanks for making me laugh James 😁

[@MattRoadhouse]

Baked chips with cheese and savory ingredients rely on the crunch and caramelization. Definitely getting mush vibes here - some crazed casserole

[@Meme.Supreme]

so I've been binging your videos cause I love how you flawlessly merge entertainment and education together... oof, this was tough. I actually cried. if it weren't for your commentary, I wouldn't have survived. hats off to you, Chef.

Thank you so much! :)

Good luck eating after seeing it

[@justsomeguy2825]

Im no pro chef, but i love to cook, and i feel like over the past few years, ive been able to develop my technique quite a bit. This is not something i would make when i was lazy, nor when i was just starting out. This is something my younger brothers would make during their mad science kitchen experiments during our childhood. (Theyd essentially just Mash up or mix whatever they could find just to see what would happen)

[@owenlivers7105]

My mother and I do an enchilada casserole that's pretty 💣 but we still use corn tortillas and I make my own sauce which is way better I agree. Basically our recipe is unrolled enchiladas layered kinda like lasagna. Also I love using cotija and Queso Quesadilla cheese. Cotija also makes a better Alfredo sauce than parm does in my opinion.

[@voluntaryismistheanswer]

Now I want eloté (which I'm very fussy about, and make my own mayo with olive oil and garlic)

[@themisfittexan9323]

Fun fact: There is a dish similar to enchiladas called entomentadas. It's an easy to make dish every Tex-Mex parent or grandma can make. All you need is this common brand of tomato sauce called Del Fuerte and corn tortillas.

[@itsmeshteve]

I discovered a similar recipe when I was a kid (roughly 12) during a failed attempt at baked nachos. It wasn't half bad, and I still sometimes make it for the memories. Now that I'm in my 30's, I know how to make a good baked nachos. And I know the difference between enchiladas, nachos and a tortilla casserole, which is basically what they made using tortilla chips instead of regular tortillas. Still wouldn't trust Jack's cooking or tastebud's though...

[@mamamooseak]

I grew up with El Paso enchilada sauce and still love to use it sometimes. Canned sauces are great for when we don't have the time and/or energy to make it from scratch(it also costs less, much if the time). My lazy enchiladas are just layered instead of wrapped

[@joshuamiller9853]

I feel like you could take the basic ingredients (swapping out the chips for actual tortillas) and do like a layered Mexican lasagna type dish that would be just as “lazy” but significantly less soggy. Or you could just make enchiladas, they really aren’t a complicated dish.

[@Tibi9424]

imagine her cooking this to her hubby and her kids... i'd rather just order food for the rest of my life lol

[@donicarobinson24]

Her fella is probably a gringo that lives for Taco Bell. And now, further in the video, I see she wears a few rings but - none indicating that she's taken.

[@austinuden1872]

This reminds me of 50s-70s midwest food that a lot of families still make, at least they have left the jello everything in the past, but it just reminds me how little some people in my family are unwilling to try new things and move into modern food culture

[@mr.c9820]

you are my favourite chef right now ! ! the reactions are priceless

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thank you!! :)

[@snarky4lyfe144]

I made enchiladas for the first time in my 45 years 2 weeks ago , they were AMAZING ! unlike jack , i followed a recipe written by a hispanic woman . i made both green and red . i amazed myself .

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Fantastic!

[@darianroscoe1017]

I am a big fan of chilaquiles, which are a shallow layer of chips covered and cooked (preferably from quartered corn tortillas which are then fried for this dish), also getting soft, which you then top with other ingredients when on your plate, but chilaquiles are top notch delicious, not drowned in sauce like this. This is disgusting. Where does he come up with his recipes, and why does he think this is okay? Sooo wrong. Your facial expressions are right on the money. I was doing the same right along with you.

[@Gawanji]

My mom would use this method to make Chicken chilaquiles on the cheap using a whole rotisserie chicken and fresh shredded cheese - but what the hell? Classic simple Enchiladas are NOT that difficult to make and corn tortillas IS cheaper than chips!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I have never seen something like this before, this much be where all the bad TikTok recipe videos get there inspiration

[@Chaos_Senpai]

If you watch, Jack doesn't even swallow it he talks with his mouth full before there is a cut. It must be that bad

[@WorldTravelerCA]

Well Jack has suffered recent stroke and it’s not his first health issue due to his poor eating habits.

[@daniellion5291]

I like how she called the hotel pan a 'bucket'

[@breaker6683]

This is what I would call "drunk food" and it's fine if you call it drunk food, I'm sure it's quite tasty, but nowhere in the world aside from Jack's kitchen would anyone call this enchiladas.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

😂

[@flowertrue]

I mean, you'd ***really*** have to be drunk to put this monstrosity together!

[@andreihb]

Looks like the result of a drunken one night stand between nachos and meatloaf. Congratulations Chef James on uncle Roger’s acknowledgement. Also, Chef Saul made some great looking enchiladas on Epicurious.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

we need to see it!

[@RichardRietdijk]

I changed my mind... the raw chicken doesn't look too bad compared to this. 🤣

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

🤣 haha

[@justaguy105]

I live in Arizona and I've seen this plenty of times, just usually with 6-in corn tortillas instead of the chips. But this is basically like Mexican casserole and it does not taste bad. I would probably use shredded chicken instead of the hamburger though.

[@wsDiA_vd]

There's a point to be made that everyone is allowed to cook however they want; I personally don't see a problem with like using bottled sauce or chips instead of actual tortillas if, as they say, it's a "lazy man's recipe". But man, there's a difference between using all premade and easy to find ingredients and making such a mess like this.

[@howardgilman5698]

The ingredients themselves, sans fatty meat, looks edible when baked but what's it called, and did anyone actually make this?

[@TheodoreBrosevelt]

That's like calling spaghetti the lazy man's version of ramen. What he made is closer to nachos not enchiladas

[@wsDiA_vd]

@@TheodoreBrosevelt if we want to be pedantic about it then we could go on for years about what exactly makes a nacho or a chip, so I'd rather not go that route.

[@TheodoreBrosevelt]

@@wsDiA_vd Enchiladas are made with tortillas not chips, so there is no debate. Just because he used enchilada sauce does not make it enchiladas

[@jeagerzbomb9924]

Type "enchiladas rojas" on Google. Look at the photos, then look at the ingredients. The only thing it has in common with this college hungover dump is that they both have corn, tomato and some type of dairy product as ingredients. This thing will taste nothing like what the name suggests.

[@Terrivel119]

I actually do something that I would actually consider as a sort of “lazy enchilada” where instead of wrapping them, I layer tortillas like a lasagna so you can cut out squares. Saves a lot of time, especially if I go with premade ingredients/sauces.

[@Rhino8777]

I've done this! I call it a "taco bake", but it's more like you said - an enchilada lasagna! Now, of course we both use tortillas and not tortilla chips! 😂

[@raulfonseca3299]

I dont know if it is a recipe or my mother beeing creative but in Brasil i have had the oposite, thick white sauce, chesse and presunto (dont know the name in english, Sorry) rolled with the pasta layer of lasanha and baked with red sauce and a layer of cheese, i've never had enchilatas so i dont know how it is, but that recipe i had was delicious.

[@flowertrue]

I've done that too. I call it Taco Casserole and I put the chips on top so they don't get soggy with just some cheese and for goodness sake put some tinfoil on that thing so the cheese doesn't get all burnt! I also added black beans to bulk it up. No way should anyone eat that much cheese like that! They are going to be so sick to their stomach! Just like poor chef James!

[@Terrivel119]

@@flowertrue I actually do that as well. I’ll crush up tortilla chips and mix them with shredded cheese on the very top for some extra texture. Being mixed in with the cheese helps keep them from getting too soggy.

[@TERMINAL-BALLISTICS]

Lazy is the key word in this video. They look like they'd eat anything and apparently quanity comes before quality. Break out the pig trough and enjoy!

My parents are from Mexico and my mom only made Mexican meals. My mom has never used olives, cheddar cheese, guacamole etc in enchiladas nor has she ever baked enchiladas in the oven. Traditional enchiladas are simple and made on top of the stove in a pan.

[@iamatypicalsheep]

Whenever my mom made enchiladas using La Palmas, she would add some chocolate to it, specifically half of an Abuelita brand coco bar because it has other spices in it and adds depth to the salsa while also reducing some of the spicy heat. The sauce alone is pretty flat.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

chocolate? so more like enchiladas de mole? 😉

[@luisarturoorduna2098]

As a mexican, living in México, this seems like a tex-mex version of Chilaquiles, here's a simple recipe for both. Green sauce: Boil green tomatoes (tomatillo) and blend them with onion, garlic, coriander, salt and green jalapeño or serrano peppers... the sauce must be somewhat watery. Red sauce: Roast tomatoes, onion, garlic and jalapeño or serrano pepers, then blend them with salt and coriander, add a lillte bit of water to make a more "fluid" sauce. Now, for Enchiladas: Take some tortillas, heat them in a pan adding a little bit of oil or lard, the idea is to slightly "fry" them, but not to make them crispy. Then fill the tortillas, like a taco, maybe with shredded cooked chiken, a mixture of aged cheese and onion or both, then pour some sauce on top to cover the enchiladas.... serve with some sour cream, onion and crumbled aged cheese on top. You can use, green or red sauce, or Mole if you ve some left, or refried beans blended to a sauce with some chicken broth ("enfrijoladas") For Chilaquiles: Cut some tortillas into little triangles, fry them in oil or lard until crisp, reserve. In the same frying pan, add the sauce and when it starts to boil, add the tortilla chips and let them absorb the sauce, serve topped with sour cream, shredded cheese and maybe shredded chiken, onion or serve them as a side disk for steak. In both cases you can substitute the shredded aged cheese with some "meltable cheese" like mozarella, Gouda, quesillo or Manchego cheese and take to the oven to melt.

I have been feeling terrible with a headache the entire day and hadn't eaten in more than 24 hours, but it was already past 11 pm and I had nothing in my fridge that would make a decent meal. So I ordered something from a shady delivery service where the reviews read it's a bit of gamble if the food actually arrives, but I was starving and nothing else was still open for delivery. I have already waited for an hour and was literally starving. Why do I mention this? Because then I remembered this video, came back to it, and suddenly, I wasn't hungry anymore. Even when my food arrived, two hours after the app said it was already delivered, I hardly felt like I wanted to eat anymore. It's magical.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

hahaha I hope you are feeling better!

[@CoryAY82383]

If I make anything needing salsa, I also use Pace brand medium salsa

[@clarion-z2929]

i always felt like I cant cook for reals, but seeing Jacks videos.. I feel like a gourmet chef :D also, James, im not sure if i speak for other dads as well, but would like to see few videos for 3-5 ingredient meal recipes that will get kids to eat without complaining ;)

[@shebakoby]

speaking of enchiladas, I've taken on a "cheat" if you will - they tell you dip the tortillas in the sauce and I find that too messy doing it that way. So what I end up doing instead, is putting the tortilla on a plate and using a silicone pastry brush to brush the sauce on, flip it over, brush on some more, then get it filled and rolled up in the dish.

[@garrettbates2639]

6:45 I love Taco Salads, though I've never tried them outside of NM. Here we typically use a fried tortilla as a bowl, instead of putting in crushed up tortilla chips. It's quite good, I think.
