As you probably already know, I love Mexican food, I guess growing up in the Southwest it was a given.  Mexican food was on the menu several times a week and there are more Mexican food restaurants than any other in my home town.  And it was down home Tex Mex food like these stacked beef enchiladas.

In fact when I was growing up in West Texas one of our biggest school fund raisers was a stacked enchilada dinner.  Some of the moms would make huge pots of red chile sauce.  We would warm the corn tortillas by dipping them in the heated red chile sauce, and stack them, sprinkled with cheese and fresh chopped onions in between the layers.  And each plate of stacked beef enchiladas would be placed in the oven for the cheese to melt.   And on special request, we would serve them with a fried egg on top, (my hubby loves them this way.   This is our version of this enchiladas rojas recipe.

Then remove it carefully and lay it on an oven safe dinner plate.  You want to heat up the tortilla until it’s just soft but not so soft that it falls apart.

    I have been making these for 40 years and is one of my family’s favor dish. I’ve taught my 16 year old grandson how to make them and he makes them 1 to 2 times a week.
