Yum! Love, love these. Grew up on Mexican food also, my mom is from NM.
Oh, you're making me so hungry! I didn't grow up with Mexican food, but I really love these Enchiladas!
I love these stacked enchiladas! Fantastic!
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.
These are a classic! What a great idea to teach your grandson.
That’s exactly how we grew up making enchiladas nobody else makes them that way. Thanks for sharing!
