Can you edit the recipe on the website. The recipe is missing the step for when the garlic is added.

Can Chef John just read me bedtime stories or motivational podcasts, whatever! He is good for the soul. I am going to try this recipe tomorrow :D

MaZEEZaM yeah, I couldn’t find the recipe either ☹️

[@lynnleavitt478]

I'm going to make this in a few weeks for a potluck dinner at church. Since it's for a lot of people, I'm thinking of doing it in a lasagna pan and cut or tear the tortillas in smaller pieces before layering to make serving easier. No knife needed to cut. Your recipes are always a big hit when I prepare a dish for family and others.I also tell people where to find the recipe on your KZbin channel. I ALWAYS give credit where it's due. Thanks for making my cooking a big success.

We marinated chicken thighs overnight in a chipotle marinade and grilled and chopped them up for these beauties. Followed this recipe without any variation except used shredded pepper jack. Outstanding results!

How many times have I tasted my spicy Tom Yum soup as it is simmering on the stove and sprayed the front of my microwave with atomized soup? Countless times. Can't wait to dominate this recipe.

Made this for dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious and husband raving about it. Did not have any ancho chile on hand so had to use ordinary chili powder. Only used 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1/2 tablespoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper, pinch of cinnamon, 1/2 tablespoon of paprika. Otherwise followed recipe as written. Made 5 enchiladas but still have enough sauce and filling for two more. Am going to buy some ancho chile so I can make exactly as written next time. But can't imagine how much better it could be. Thanks John for another great recipe.

You have the concepts down, even if the execution is different. Very cool! I haven't tried a bad recipe from your channel and I'm sure even these would be amazing.

We make stacked enchiladas in New Mexico. But we use Chimayo for our chile colorado, and it’s not really an enchilada sauce per se, it’s just a chile sauce we use for pretty much everything. 😁

My uncle from New Mexico makes a roux for his enchilada sauce and layers them as well as tops them with an egg, I love them. My mom from Mexico completely different recipe very "authentic" (from Sinaloa) I love those too. Me, I use my mom's authentic recipe but I don't roll them I layer them because I'm lazy and top them with an egg because that's the way I like them. Chef John yours look delicious, I will definitely try them. You make me a better cook.

7:10 i did something similar to this once. Took a hot pan out of the oven, took a picture to send to a friend (bragging about my tasty snack of course) but took the towel out of the way first before going in for a bite, and grabbed the edge of the pan to steady it while i took a bite and got a first degree burn for my hubris.

[@mattmorbel3921]

I made this tonight and it was big hit among my family. I had a few hiccups but none that wasn’t fixable. My sauce had bits of chicken because the chicken stock I used came from some chicken I had boiled yesterday for a different meal which was good. I made the sauce and it almost turned into a spaghetti sauce because I added to much tomato paste, which I balanced out with more spices and more broth being add to the mix. The only thing I personally would change is when cooking the onions also cooking the garlic in the butter and oil. Loved it thank you for the recipe!

[@LoDaFTA]

The way Chef John proceeds to frustratingly destroy the enchilada after he failed multiple times to get it in the spoon/fork had me giggling.

[@irishredbone8996]

Made this today, the sauce is fantastic; I used leftover smoked brisket it was out if this world good. Thanks Chef John

[@mitchcrofoot7813]

My grandmother has been making stacked enchiladas since before I was born (I’m 52) and they are very versatile. I’ve had dinner parties and made them on a cookie sheet with beef, chicken and vegetable version on the same sheet. You are however missing one key ingredient. Fried egg! The runny yolk adds a richness that make this dish truly extraordinary and authentic. I sometimes ask for fried eggs on restaurant enchiladas and get strange looks. Not because it’s weird, but because most non Mexicans don’t know about it. Anyways, different recipes, same method. Excellent video!

Anyway, we always buy a huge box, eat some that night, then use the rest for various chicken recipes like a sandwich salad mix or as a salad topper.
