Craving comfort food with a Tex-Mex twist? Look no further! In this recipe vlog, we're making beefy, cheesy enchiladas smothered in a savory chili gravy red sauce - the kind you dream about.
These aren't your average enchiladas. We're talking melty cheese, tender ground beef spiced to perfection, and a secret homemade salsa that adds a burst of freshness. Plus, get ready for the surprise topping: a gooey fried egg that takes these enchiladas to the next level.

There is something about runny egg yolk and enchilada sauce that just sooths the soul!

[@karlynnelangerak4549]

Amen!😊

[@TJ1855]

Stop apologizing for using your bare hands. That's absolutely ridiculous that people would comment on that in a negative way. People get over it and move on please

[@teniaosayande6355]

Exactly! As if these people are in their own homes cooking with gloves and by FDA standards.

[@SundayCookingRemix]

I think gloves are ridiculous 😂 in a home setting that is

[@lettiegrant9447]

Exactly! These are habitual complainers. They complain about everything.

[@kaiju_k5042]

Your family is so lucky, they get to enjoy such delicious things, but we are also so lucky that you kindly share these recipes with us

Thank you! 😊🙏🏼

When I was little my grandpa always ate his enchiladas with a fried egg on top. Now this is the only way my family eats them, even for dinner. lol Also, to make the process faster we lay the enchilada flat on a plate and layer. No need to roll or bake. Quick and easy dinner.

[@janetseidlitz5976]

One of my first food memories as a toddler was eating cheese and onion enchilada with some Mexican style rice. Still a comfort food to this day.

[@jonathansongco4302]

Yummy.

[@Diana-xm1dm]

I made corned beef hash/w potatoes (not sure if "hash" automatically implies potatoes), over easy eggs, and oven Melba toast. I used sliced sandwich bread, buttered it, and baked it until very golden brown sort of like store bought Bimbo toast, but yummier. Oh, and of course coffee. I make something similar to your breakfast enchiladas, but instead of rolling them I slice the tortillas up like for chilaquilles, and I like to call them Enchilaquilles. Happy 2024.

[@dawndraine8686]

who cares if your husband helps you...that is awesome that he does. I love that you two are a united home front. Keep on keeping on

[@sandyrice3559]

"#NEWYEARSAMEME", LOL... I love it! I do NOT make New Year's resolutions because I refuse to start the year setting myself up for failure. Happy New Year, Angelica! The breakfast enchiladas look absolutely delicious ❤️

[@bakingnanaskitchen4799]

Our New Year morning tradition is fried tamales with eggs and salsa. That started years ago when we would spend New Years RV camping with friends. I'd get up early and take my Lab for a walk, watch the sunrise and walk back to camp to be welcomed by a nice camp fire, some hot Champurrado and eventually fried tamales. Great memories and so delicious. I could easily have enchiladas for breakfast!

[@beaubromley942]

Her enchiladas are the absolute best. Just like my mom makes.

[@belindadunne4312]

Happy New Year 🎉 Your Red Sauce recipe from the cookbook is my go-to for enchiladas and even tamales. It's so easy and flavorful. 👍🏻

[@mexicansoutherngirl]

We are turning back around and going camping. I need Breakfast meal. THIS is perfect

[@KSGomez88]

We stayed home, I made appetizers for dinner! And a roast chicken on New Year's Day!

[@LinneaSanchez]

Enchiladas and over easy eggs…..breakfast of champions! My family’s favorite.

[@reneowens2768]

I just want to say, cooking one handed while filming for us, awesome skills!

[@beachcityboy02]

I'm a long-time subscriber here (My first time commenting). I'm over in Baytown on the east side of H-Town, you're always buying things from HEB, so I know you're in Texas ! I've used many of your recipes, and you've taught this Gringo a lot about Mexican foods which I love. I wish you and your family a blessed, and happy new year !!! Thanks for sharing your recipes.

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

Baytown has the absolute best H-E-B.

[@teresa5226]

You have such wonderful meals and inexpensive.Thank you for all of us on a budget. Tesa

[@gstseek]

I have watched your videos for several years and have used a lot of your recipes! Your video today made me wonder why I hadn’t ordered your cookbook before now. I’m so excited, I got on Amazon and ordered it and now anxiously awaiting it! Thank you Angelica!

[@terrimcmanus9475]

I make mine similar. I put my onions inside and the cheese rolled inside. I make a red sauce, fry the tortilla and dip them in the sauce and roll them. I put my sauce in first and make sure to cover the edges and then add the cheese. I use Colby jack inside and monterrey cheese on top. I have found that making them before and refrigerating them. They blend and taste even better !! Nice job !!

[@kevinmuzerMetalMind64]

Excellent dish! I will try this. Big Mexican food fan. Ole' Thx a bunch!

[@summerf3022]

I have your cookbook and love when you refer us to the recipe that you are making that can be found in the book. We love the onion on enchiladas too! My favorite is cheese and onion and we serve with an egg on top of enchilada also. We make them NM style so they are flat and stacked. Love them rolled too.Thank you!
