Red Enchiladas- Stacked Chihuahua Style

September 8, 2014 by Evelyn 8 Comments

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. 
 In fact when I was growing up in West Texas one of our biggest school fund raisers was an enchilada dinner.  Some of the moms would make huge pots of red sauce (red chile sauce) and we would warm the corn tortillas by dipping them in the heated red sauce, and stack them, sprinkled with cheese and fresh chopped onions in between the layers.   And on special request, we would serve them with a fried egg on top, (my hubby loves them this way). 
No rolled enchiladas here, just red enchiladas, stacked Chihuahua Style* but with lean ground beef.    
*Chihuahua is the largest state in Mexico just south of New Mexico and Texas.

    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.
