Tex Mex Restaurant Style Enchiladas

[@noviz13]

Being from south Texas, close the the Mexican border, I have to say that you did well. I have never seen anyone put chili powder in rice! Try adding onions or onion powder to the rice. For the beans, remove the browned garlic and place in a blender before adding to the pan for a smoother consistency, and for refried beans i have never seen people add chili powder either and beans will dry on their own without needed corn starch

[@kenstilwell4875]

I am a self taught "Chef" so to speak and I love to cook, I can't eat at a lot of places because my food is better in my opinion. I only say that to say that this enchilada recipe is the best I have ever had. If I find a restaurant that has a dish I like, my wife fusses at me because I will work on my recipes for years to perfect them if they don't meet my taste standards. I would not change a think about this recipe, it is perfect. Thank you for sharing.

[@loriegosnell9355]

I use bacon grease (I save bacon grease) in my refried beans and it is amazing. I like your rice recipe because I don’t make rice often so now I have a guide.

[@12TomatoesTV]

Oh, that probably makes some really tasty beans then!

[@12TomatoesTV]

@@astropoe2898 so true!

[@DennisIsbell]

Cooking it all up right now!!! So far all taste tests are good.

[@xrayguy1981]

Always drain the beans into a bowl and then add the bean liquid back as needed.

[@carolinalomeli9128]

Yes! The beans need to fry in the fat without liquid before mashing. Bean broth is added to desired consistency afterwards. 👍

[@rufinacaldwell3024]

Those beans looks delicious

[@alby711]

This looks reallygood but I would not use chili powder in rice or beans. The rice needs cumin onion bell pepper. Also enchiladas are best made by dipping the tortillas in the sauce then rolling them up. Yes it gets messy but worth it #tejano #texican

[@chelleroberson3222]

Exactly

[@MadisonFalcoFoods]

I do agree Cumin is delicious in refried beans

[@lizziesangi1602]

@ That 1.... A matter of taste and personal preference, perhaps? There's nothing wrong with sharing it that way and people trying it for themselves. I like hot sauce on tuna fish and chili powder in lots of stuff including this. Cumin, on the other hand, I'm not a big fan of. Certain items, yes but few. Unfortunately, your suggestions wouldn't work well with me like his don't work well with you. Besides, this is a video of how he makes the food. Why would you come in and tell him to do it another way? He's obviously knows how to cook and this is the way HE shares his tastes and skills. I'll bet he knows all your suggestions but he's showing us his preferences.

[@morningcoffee1111]

@@lizziesangi1602ha! He has literally never made this dish before. He’s following a recipe from someone else. He even mentions it himself as he’s screwing up the beans. What a joke

[@djstaliban]

Absolutely love your recipe for all 3

[@bencrow1298]

I enjoyed the video! Nice techniques, all of the food should be flavorful, with good textures. I watch a lot of these types of videos, and cook a lot of Mexican dishes. First time I've seen chili powder used in the beans, but I'm totally on board! I di my rice a little different. Your enchilada sauce is similar to how my wife makes it, she doesnt enjoy cooking as much as I do, myself, I use dried chiles, Ancho and guajillo. The onion, garlic and tomatoes come out of my garden.

[@julieswahn9887]

some clever ideas in there fella. San Antonio native here living in Sweden for 21 years and i miss Mexican food like crazy or should I say tex mex food? I like the idea of the vinegar in the enchilada sauce for some Tang. I will try that and the tomato paste also. I'm tired of my usual chile gravy that I make.

[@13Deliverance]

How tf are you surviving up there lol I need that San Antonio food in my life everyday 😂

[@SwedishStorm]

Not sure if you will read this reply... but I feel your pain about Mexican food here in Sweden. I'm from San Diego, CA originally but have lived in Sweden for almost 22 years. San Diego style Mexican food isn't Tex-Mex, but it uses many similar ingredients. I'd love to exchange ideas and recipes with you using ingredients available here in Sweden. It can be done, though with extra steps. 😀

First of all great job,I have read some of the comments and everybody has their own way of making their enchilada’s, I personally don’t use chili powder on either rice or beans, neither the vinegar, (so that’s more Puerto Rican ,bisté ensavollado yum)going to have to try it this way,always good to explore different avenues ,or in this case recipes

As chili powder tends to give me heartburn, I typically will use cayenne pepper in its place. Also, Mexican oregano is more pungent than the slightly more sweet mediterranean oregano.

Wowwww you are the first person that I’ve found made your plate from beginning to end sooo close to how I make mine. I think the only difference is that I use a can of refried beans and you added your sauce to the beef, which I am definitely going to try. I’m from Texas & this is the best way to get that Austin Texas restaurant style food at home. Yummmy 🤪

[@danielesquivel5938]

I like the chili powder, when I first learned how to make beans one of the first things I tried was chili powder. 70 years later I realize I haven't done that in over 50 years. Nowadays I just use chorizo.

[@danielesquivel5938]

In my entire life I've never seen anybody make enchiladas with flour tortillas. A word for that is " ridiculous!"

[@yukineswan]

You can try soft frying the corn tortillas then rolling on the next batch. It tastes pretty good.

[@bigcgr9758]

I prefer shredded roast beef for the meat . I also dice onion and jalapeno and cook it with the meat. Then I add the cheese on the inside. I top mine with the sauce and queso fresco. Also the tortillas are better if you dip them in hot oil and fry them for a few seconds then pat the oil off they roll better that way .

Everything looks good. I use a little bacon grease for refried beans and to brown my rice.

[@12TomatoesTV]

Sounds great!

[@marshutch3931]

What no cheese on the rice? You may like to add minced white onions to the rice too. As for the beans let the water evaporate first before smashing them.

[@strapkovic]

Ok for refried beans they have to be refried. Pour them out of the can if you choose to use canned cook em and smash them until all the juice from the can is gone, then add the lard and keep stirring. You fried them once lol, you gotta refry them. Also chicken bullion not tomato bullion, you already put tomato paste, cumin, onion and garlic is all you need for Spanish rice. After the 20 minutes is up on the rice do not remove the lid. Turn off the fire and let it sit for another 10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork. Good effort you'll get there.. Texmex is worth it

[@12TomatoesTV]

Oh ok, thanks for the tips. We don't mind trying this one again to get it right lol

Which enchilada sauce u use? Please let me know ASAP Iam cooking now thanks lots ❤

[@12TomatoesTV]

We may be a little late with this response... Sorry. But we made our own sauce actually using these ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste Pinch of cinnamon 2 tablespoons tomato paste 2 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar Freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1/4 teaspoon salt

[@armandopina8529]

The Mediterranean/European oregano is the first to be called oregano. When Spaniards got to Mexico they found herb that tasted like oregano back home but had stronger flavor. Scientifically Mexican oregano is not really in oregano plant family. I like both.

Son, you first lost me when you put way too much tomato sauce in the rice, made me cringe when you burned the garlic and didn't start over, cringe again when you added corn starch to the beans, then shocked me when you didn't sauce the tortillas or add cheese to the inside.

It might be a good idea to try a recipe one time and kinda learn it before making a video to teach it to others.

[@iraisrose]

This video reminds me of an experience I had going to a Mexican restaurant years ago. It seems the place had a house seasoning and put it liberally everywhere, the fajita meat, the beans, the rice, the salsa. 😔 it was just too much. Rather than each dish complementing the other with each of its flavors, everything tasted the same….. like cumin. 😕 Mexican or TexMex does not mean that cumin has to go in everything. Each dish has its own ingredients that deliver a unique flavor and that makes it iconic. Your rice came out like my first attempt at making rice ever….. yes I too put too much tomato sauce 🥫. Mom then revealed the secret 🤫… only 2tablespoons is sufficient, unless you are making a party size pot

[@MadisonFalcoFoods]

Very true!
