How to make a Speedy Gonzales Meal Special | Villa Cocina

[@tinmanandoliveoylsadventur7129]

One of the problems that I've had is that the tortilla falls apart when I put it in the sauce. I can make my own corn tortillas but apart from tortilleria tortillas, which store bought do you recommend, if any, that won't fall apart? Thank you in advance.

[@VillaCocina]

I totally get it. When making enchiladas, homemade or from the tortilleria work best. Pre-packaged store bought ones tend break apart easily. I try to avoid using them but if I ever have to: I make sure they are stale, and cold before dipping into the sauce. Once added to the oil, don't let it soften too much before flipping. While somewhat firm, flip. As soon as it softens and is hot. Carefully remove, fill, and roll. Its worked in the past. But, I try to stick with homemade or buy them at my local tortilleria.

Any reference to Señor Gonzalez deserves watching. I’m hungry now.

[@VillaCocina]

Speedy is such an icon!

[@johnsperka2253]

Watched this 3 times in one sitting- I watch a lot of cooking shows but yours make so hungry I have to start cooking- plus your content gives confidence that I can make some great food! So many many thanks!

[@VillaCocina]

Cooking is a craft worth mastering 🙂

I love this couple, and I am in love with Mexican cuisine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Merci

[@VillaCocina]

Thanks so much

[@bsilva6064]

I can't wait to make these tacos. My mouth is watering. 😋 Looks so good.

[@SKiZ0TT]

Watched so many of these videos, and each one gets me drooling.

[@VillaCocina]

They can have that effect 😊

[@lydiamlopez86]

I cannot wait to make this dish for my family, especially the chorizo con papa tacos. I love all of your recipes! BTW, You and Nelson are so adorable! ❤❤

[@VillaCocina]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@lupitah1012]

Mmm!! esos frijilitoS!!!!mmm ricoS!!!🫶🏼🇲🇽👩‍🦱🇺🇸🇲🇽😋😍

[@andrewbird57]

I learn so much from your videos. I am vegan and I adapt them best I can. Trader Joe's has soyrizo that I buy frequently so anything with chorizo I can do fairly well. I didn't know about smashing the potatoes into the chorizo - Rick Bayless didn't show me that. Your knowledge of traditional, authentic Mexican cuisine is deeper. Nelson reminds me of a really good friend I knew some 40 years ago, it's like he's his clone. We were both cooks at Harvey's in South Lake Tahoe. He was a really good person.

[@VillaCocina]

That means my Pueblo’s enchiladas are a fit for you! So glad!

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Funny you should mention Harvey's in South Lake Tahoe, as I drove by a few weeks ago and the whole few miles of business/Casinos look very different now. My favorite place to go year round is Sand Harbor, grew up going with my family, for the past 50 odd years. I'm an old timer such as yourself 🤣

[@PLAYERSLAYERSOFFLAVORS]

Everything always looks really good. Great job!!

[@mizzwycked7931]

The way Nelson ran over like Speedy Gonzales😄 I know I speak for many when I say I truly appreciate how much work and love you put into your videos! I absolutely adore you both💝

Great Recipe n simple to follow! Thank you for sharing Chief!

[@reginabradshaw2050]

I'm hoping to make this this weekend. Yummy 😋 😊

[@Coopdog-dp5eq]

I've had many Speedy Gonzales' in my time. The dish is called that because it is the quickest to prepare. At lunch time it can be at your table in like 5 minutes. Sometimes i will go to a different Mexican restaurant and not even look at the menu. "Speedy Gonzalez with rice, order of beans with extra sour cream" My order comes right away every time. Love it.

[@VillaCocina]

Sounds great!

[@rebeccasanford8607]

Hi that’s how I grew up eating enchiladas with onion and cheese my moms way of making them I haven’t had them for years now because my husband is a meat lover But am going to have to make a batch just for me Thank you everything looks delicious 😋 from Barbara

[@VillaCocina]

This is the way we make them in my pueblo in Michoacán. Such a joy!

[@letarogers6380]

Straining makes such a huge difference with the sauce. I used to skip that, but once I tried straining it I realized how much better it is. Fun fact, for reasons known only to Mexican grocery marketing people at least fifty years ago, dried ancho chiles and fresh poblanos are often labeled as "pasilla" in California.

[@VillaCocina]

Interesting! did not know about the mislabeling. Although, they do have differences that set them apart.

[@drtmvoss]

Really appreciate all your recipes. Been a subscriber since early in the pandemic. The only problem is that now that I’ve learned how to cook these delicious dishes at home, going out to eat is disappointing lol. Too much lard, not enough flavor. So much better using your recipes 😊

[@VillaCocina]

One can definitely get used to great flavors ☺️ thanks for being here with us for so long!

If I could find some quality chorizo I'd love to make this. The chorizo available to me is greasy and doesn't crumble like yours did. And this meal looks so delicious I have to try it! Of course I'll make your Mexican rice and salsa Verde recipes ahead of time first. It must be like heaven to eat in your home. 👍❤️

[@VillaCocina]

We have a pork chorizo recipe video if you’re interested.

[@barbiec4312]

I lightly spray my tacos with oil on each side and bake them in the oven at 400° for about 8-9 minutes each side. Crispy and lighter.

[@VillaCocina]

Sounds like a great idea.

[@jefferykantor5852]

Luv it, so delicious 😂

[@VillaCocina]

Can’t argue with your logic 😅

[@royalvarez8330]

How do you make the best eggs and potatoes

[@yusrachamiye2302]

I can't wait❤

[@Ozmni11]

Avocado oil has a higher heat index. Olive oil turns oxidant when heated.

[@VillaCocina]

I use the kind that's good for pan frying and sautéing. But yes, avocado oil works great as well. I actually used it to fry the tacos.

[@JohnSmith-ng2ek]

If only I had a woman like you. My life would be fulfilled.

[@scotteldridge3740]

[@nicholasanaya4tg470]

Wow 🤩 your beautiful and talented cook what a wonderful women !

[@johnherron3961]

Includes the chili seeds - gonna be spicy - remove before toasting if you want less punch - less chilis if you're cautious - keep trying until you find the spicy level you enjoy.

[@kindabluejazz]

There's very little heat in Guajillos (dried Mirasol) or Anchos (dried Poblano). And the heat of chiles is mainly in the pith and ribs, not the seeds.

[@celiavonderlindenlewis9948]

Salsa Verde link please? I didn't see it

[@VillaCocina]

It should be down in the description area

You're not old enough to remember Speedy Gonzales ! ! . . . . Oop's, I just searched the Interweb for Speedy Gonzales and according to Wiki, he's been around from 1953 to 2021. 😶 "Ándale arriba" ! !

[@MrDoneboy]

My question to Nelson is..."How do you stay skinny, eating all of this great food? Lol

[@JohnSmith-ng2ek]

Mexican food does not make you fat.... your lifestyle does...

[@MrDoneboy]

@@JohnSmith-ng2ek I workout 3 times a week...do cardio... and eat very healthy.,But I am also diabetic!

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Interesting.. I thought Enchiladas had chicken inside them? Then again, as you mentioned, each region has their own recipe. And the restaurants I've had them in, use chicken.. PS: Surprised Nelson doesn't weigh 500 lbs.. This dude can eat lol

[@VillaCocina]

This is the way enchiladas are made in my pueblo in Michoacán ☺️

[@Kiss__Kiss]

@@VillaCocina Makes sense.. The next time I eat at a Mexican restaurant, I'll be sure to ask where they're from. To see why they use chicken? lol Thanks for your videos and response. 👍

[@miro11912]

You're pretty

[@mirandak3273]

Didn’t work well. When I put the sauce soaked tortilla in the oil it splattered all over my kitchen and most of the enchiladas fell apart as I tried to roll them. What looked easily doable for you was a disaster for me.

[@mirandak3273]

I used too much oil.

[@Paula-xb8jm]

Thank you so much you are the best I am learning a lot . God Bless 🫀🙏🙋‍♀
