  • Oh my God...you made me so hungry......I have to make these. Do you use flour tortillas or corn tortillas? I thought corn for enchiladas but no doubt flour would be good too!! Thanks for this recipe!

  • @mrbabblehead Most people use corn. I used and suggest you try this with flour tortillas. It is an amazing difference! :)

  • I made these and my family loved then

  • This video gave me an idea for a gift for you, Ray. I'll try to get it in the mail this week.

  • I made these tonight. Thank you! ¢=

  • Se ve muy rico :)

    I love see how to make the mexican food in other countries

    The enchiladas is my favorite plate, I'll try to make this recipe.

    Thanks

  • THESE R WHITE WASHED ENCHILADAS!! N EVERYTHIN TASTE BETTER WHEN U USE FRESH INGRIDENTS!

  • @zero17341 You post this when you haven't even tried them? You're a douchebag. Keep your nonsense negativity off my channel.

  • dude you make really ffun videos dont stop :)

  • make more cookin vids

  • Great job on your video.  Thank you.

    Do you always use dried cilantro? If so, is there a reason over fresh?

  • @Cobaltmarie Fresh is infinitely better. My grandma didn't have access to fresh during the winter back in ye olden days so she used dried. I suggest using fresh herbs and spices if possible. It won't hurt the recipe at all. It'll make it even better! :)

  • yummmmm

    

  • You Could Also Use Insant Rice I Use It All The Time

  • love your plating.you must be a restaurant guy.great recipe.

  • another enchilada vid 20x speed! -watch?v=zvi1w8QcGMs

  • another thing i like about this recipe is you can make it so easy. a well stock pantry you don't have to go to the store and buy any thing well i don't have to any ways. way better then the store bought red sauce i never buy that red sauce in the can again ever.

  • Great recipe! Thanx

  • i just ate CHICKEN enchilladas yummyy

    

  • @scottgeiger88 ...... I agree. Very good

  • i made these so many times there great. my friend came over and tried them he owns a small mom and pops restaurant and now he has these on his Wednesday specials he said he made 100 of the first time sold 60 next week made 100 sold out in 3 hours

  • @scottgeiger88 OK that totally made my day. LOLThanks Scott. :)

  • very very very nice.!

  • I made this recipe 2 days ago and it was soooooo good!

  • @lytrice05 Going to make it for super Bowl Sunday :)

  • Questions Ray ? I noticed you used flour tortillas..not corn....is there a reason? Cant buy corn tortillas here so would love to be able to use flour tortillas instead. Dont they fall apart & go mushy ? I did buy some Maseca & was going to attempt making corn tortillas by hand rolling. My press got left behind in KS. Also, how far ahead can I make these up? Can I make them a day ahead and refrigerate then do the oven thing ? Thanks ! I know you are super busy. Hate asking but I need to know

  • @mukwah1111 My family preferred flour over corn when it comes to enchiladas because my great grandma and grandma made their flour tortillas from scratch every other day so always had them available. Good flour tortillas are stretchy and do not mush up. They soften a bit when cooking but retain textture and strength. They also soak up the sauce and flavor far better than corn. You can definitely make them up in advance, refrigerate them and cook them the next day no problem. :)

  • @Praxxus55712 Thanks Ray ! I bet your G-gma used lard in her flour tortillas. Still going to take a shot at making some corn tortillas that I can julienne & fry up for soup garnish. Homemade Salsa too not that nasty jar stuff. Will make your refried beans too. We dont have many Mexicans in this part of Cda so ingreds hard to find. A few really BAD Mex restaurants have opened but they are blllech. Happy that they provide work tho for some. Muchas gracias Ray !

  • @Praxxus55712 Ray ! I made my own flour tortillas today ! They came out awsome ! I dont like those flabby flat ones from the store. I cooked them in a cast iron pan & they puffed like crazy. Tried making Corn Tortillas for Chicken Enchiladas but I just cant get the knack of those. Anway. not making your enchiladas ahead after all...will make them tomorrow fresh....Tres Leches cake is in the fridge..Chili-Lime Peanuts cooling..O & your refried beans & rice tomorrow too Thks !!

  • @mukwah1111 Homemade tortillas will make these insanely perfect!! Wow!

  • @Praxxus55712 Yeeehawww ! YES ! My sis got some frozen corn tortillas thru a Mex guy at work...made my own nacho chips & tortilla strips for sopa & the rest will be for Chicken Enchiladas..its going to be a fiesta ! Muchas Gracias for your recipe !!! You rock !

  • @Praxxus55712 I'm going thru Enchilada Sauce & Chicken Enchilada vids & some of the recipes are insane ! One Ench sauce calls for 4 Tbs of Chili Powder..for a single 2 cup batch of sauce. I cant imagine that being anything but tasting like bitter dirt ? Its late. I'm tired but I will figure this out.

  • I forgot to write back. Yes, it did come out fine. Tasted great. I messed up the rice though. Thank you for sharing this. One of my favorites by far.

  • 2 1/4 cup of water for the sauce? It looks like soup.. ???

  • @bradcuewalker It thickens up after simmering.

  • @bradcuewalker i made these over 100 times there amazing.

    

  • Man chili is not that hard to make and it doesnt need that much ingredients either all it needs is chopped up green chili from new mexico, garlic powder, a little flour, ground pork and water oh yea and some salt

  • Usually the mexican food made at home with culture and family recipes is far better then a fancy mexican restuarant!

  • Hi.. I was wondering when cooking the rice, in the video it looks like you add more tomatoes than stated in the ingredients. Did you add tomato paste or anything other than just diced tomatoes and water??

  • @Mommyofmany76 The amount of tomatoes can vary depending on whether they're fresh or canned. for each cup of rice I'd say a good amount of tomatoes would be 1 1/2 cups along with one cup of water. Adjust to suit your taste. Some prefer their rice to be drier and stiffer. Some prefer a more saucy rice. Either way is perfectly fine.

  • @Praxxus55712 Wow fast reply!!! Thank you soooo much! I'll be making your enchiladas, rice and beans for dinner tonight... My kids are very excited. :)

  • I love how this looks. You're doing well there.

    I wonder if prepared flavorings I'd swap reduced beef stock for bullion, dried Cilantro for fresh, etc. Or is the trick not to fancy it up? The pictures look tasty enough already.

  • @TubeFreakJonas No need to stick with the dried and instant ingredients. Your idea is perfect. Fresh is always better. I went with these ingredients because fresh cilantro wasn't available to my grandma back in ye olde days in the winter. Real beef stock wasn't as welll but would be an excellent supstitue. Go for it! :)

  • yum!!!!!

  • Delicioso !!!!!!!!!!!

  • These look amazing but it's 440 in the am so I won't be cooking them right now. Let me say that you garnished them beautifully too!

  • Never ate enchiladas b 4 until I prepared these....shouting out loud..deeee-licious...thanks soooo much for sharing, my hubby loves them and the refried beans.

  • @saythiswithluv bc if unplug the squad over the tortillas it will all sink to the bot and u won't have very much sauce on top and the bottom will b way to soggy

  • I have a question. I'm not mexican and I never made Enchiladaas before, but I was wondering, is there a reason you dip the tortilla in the sauce then wrap it? Wouldn't it be easier to wrap the meat in the tortilla first then pour the sauce over it? Just wanted to know if there's a reason to dip the wrap in the sauce. My way seems easier and neater.

  • @ISayThisWithLuv The reason for dipping the tortilla is to allow it to absorb the sauce on both sides. If rolled up and sauced afterwards, the inner parts of the tortilla would not soften and absorb any sauce. Making enchildas is always a bit messy but if you give it just one try I am certain you're going to be absolutely amazed at how they taste. :)

  • @Praxxus55712 Thanks for the response. I guess I'll try it your way. It did look really tasty at the end! :)

  • @Praxxus55712 BTW I have that same set of plates :)) Gorgeous aren't they?

  • @ISayThisWithLuv it gives the tortilla moisture and flavor

  • I bet they taste good, but my grandma makes the BEST!

  • why does it matter what kind of tortilla he uses.as long at it tastes good it really doesnt matter...i love this recepe i will make that for my kids tomorrow...(with flower tortillas) Thank you 4 yor recipe. and never mind ignorant pple.

  • yum yum looks delish

  • yhu make them different. my family makes them with real peppper and we cut into pieces chicken. for the tortilla we cook them in veqqie oil and thn pour thm in the sauce and thn we roll them.

  • @LisaVision1 ..Although your comment is free to be posted, I don't believe that you needed to be rude! Everyone has their own style of cooking! Instead of watching tutorials on how to cook perhaps you need to be watching tutorials on how to act like a lady! Be wise in your statements next time.

    

  • Thanks for sharing your family recipe. Your choice of ingredients, and methods were very informative. Just what I was looking for, especially the sauce. I grew up in southern California where the mexicans use corn tortillas for enchiladas. I miss it bad. You're not the first person I've seen use flour tortillas for enchiladas so I won't harp on that. But if you haven't tried corn, do it! Thanks again, amigo.

  • omg that must smell SO good. I need to try this someday!!!!

  • oy that made me want some so much :) that is my absolute favorite meal :) and if i remember right you made it the way my mexican aunt did back when i was a youngun' and visited her in El Paso, if there was any difference to the recipe it might be the boulion cubes? not sure she used them, but the rest looked like how she cooked, thanks :)

  • I don't suppose you deliver? LOL

  • That must be the dullest knife on the planet! Do yourself a favor, throw away that old bone saw and get yourself a descent knife set by Cutco Cutlery!

  • Comment removed

  • @thingsilove18 You can get by without them if needed.

  • Love it i am going to try out

  • 9:05 for the lulz

  • Hermit the frog here LOL

    looks good bro

  • That looks delicious! I wish you were my uncle! :)

  • amazing dude...I cant believe you got all that from scratch

  • I think the ladybug smelled your yummy food and couldn't resist! LOL Can't blame her! This looks AWESOME! I cannot wait to make this!! Thank you for sharing! :o)

  • I fast forewarded like you said. Awesome!!

  • man u need to sharpen that knife

  • i love enchiladas! yum!!!

  • Very nice. This is just what I have been looking for! I'll try the enchiladas and the rice soon. I can do refried beans now, but I fail with the Spanish rice every time. Thanks for a great video!

  • These didn't look like enchiladas i'm used to but it looked pretty good! I'm sure they had lots of flavour! good job ^_^

  • I was married to a Mexican and went to Mexico to visit, fell in love with the Enchiladas there and asked the cook if I could watch her do them so I can learn. This is so totally different than what I learned in Mexico. But this is great too. Gotta try it.

  • It was nice to see you use flour tortillas. I never order enchiladas becuase I don't like the corn, it overpowers everything. I am usually a 5 ingredient or less girl..but maybe I will give these a shot.

  • I would love to make this but there is no measurements or even how much beef, sauce, etc to use. Can you please list that for me! Thanks

  • @tlkpassion The entire list of ingredients as well as measurements are in the expanded video description.

  • OK, very hungry now... so off to have my steak dinner! Thanks for sharing, and I can't wait to try this one sometime!

    I recently made a video for my channel titled "HOW TO - TURKEY TACOS". I thought the Thanksgiving Day leftovers shouldn't go to waste, and they didn't with that recipe. Stop by if you get a chance to do so, and give it a look (it is located in the playlist called "CHEF-BOY-I-BE").

    I just started a cooking channel called "ACHEFBOYIBE" as well. Feel free to drop in there too.

  • @aloyalblue1 I have been craving my late grandmothers recipe for creamy green enchiladas. I lost the recipe & tweaked a few others & used our leftover turkey for an enchilada casserole..it turned out awesome..and so simple.

  • This looks so delicious!

  • men if ever open a restrunts I would go eat everyday...

  • they are real ! and look good but not the way i eat them...

  • Was the music at the end really necessary? LOL

  • GREAT video... maybe use a WOODEN spoon..lol.. That metal spoon scraps and sretCHES...uwww. Good day and thanks for posting.

  • I made this over the weekend for my family, it was a success. Thanks!

  • bhahhh!!!! i want some enchiladas!!  T__T

  • makes me hungry. the real deal not tex mex. keep up the good work :-D

  • Yummy looks good

  • I made both and I must say... it is probably the best I have ever eaten!

  • I made your Spanish rice and it was soooo good! Thanks!

  • YUMMM!!!!!!

  • thanks,think i'll try it =)

  • i love mexican food

  • When you used flour tortilla I can tell your dads side came out in you. Corn bro!!

  • @javymontijo It's a matter of preference for flour or corn. Neither is more Mexican than the other.

  • @Praxxus55712 Its just a first I've seen. My whole Family is from Mexico.. no offfense love your channel

  • @Praxxus55712 mexican enchiladas are never made with flower!!! never ever ever!!! that is so wrong!! and we used carne asada not ground beef!!! that is not mexican!! we also use everything fresh!! not frozen not canned!!

  • @luisaldo9 Wow stfu!! Obviously it can be anyones own version of enchildas. Wtf are you the mexican food police?

  • @javymontijo well, actually its your choise....

    if you like flour, then use flour.... if you like corn, then that's what you use. In my case i like corn

  • @javymontijo I guess it's a regional thing? In Texas, we make them with corn. That's how my Mom made them, and she learned from her Mom. When we make them with flour, it's usually called a burrito. Looks good though.

  • Verry nice :)

  • Mmmmm.love enchiladas.remember i was little i ate about 30 of these

  • When you put them in the oven how long should it cook

  • @asianboy224 Approximately 1/2 hour until they're hot throughout

  • and what rice do you use? :)

  • Do you use enchilad sauce?

  • @TheAnnabellelovely I make my enchilada sauce from scratch and use regular white rice.

  • what can i use to substitue chicken bouillon cubess???

  • @daownaC3C You can use real chicken stock and a pinch of salt instead.

  • Yum yum YUMMMM!!!!!!

  • made it the rice and enchiladas for dinner tonight and we loved them. Thanks!!

  • i found u again...hope your well... sell ur house//???

  • @tula762 HI ahain tula! :) Yep I sold it and moved across the state to southwestern Minnesota. There's a video somewhere in the mix showing the yard for the new place. Much much smaller but I'm enjoying it more than the last place. :)

  • What kind of tortillas do you use? Mine seem to fall apart when I roll them.

  • @itsbenjamin I use a brand called Mi Mamas or Mission. Both brands make excellent flour tortillas that hold together and stretch a bit. They have great texture and excellent flavor.

  • @Praxxus55712 Thanks! I've been using corn tortillas, I'm definitely going to do this recipe next time, looks fantastic!

  • I don't even like beef enchiladas and that looks awesome. I don't think I ever had an enchilada with a flour tortilla. How is it compared to corn?

  • @carlosg815 They soak up the sauce and flavor more than corn without becoming mushy or slimy. It's a whole different dish and actually quite amazing in flavor. You can make them with chicken, pork or even vegetarian of you like. :)

  • Thank you for posting, going to try it, looks yummy!

  • I know i'm taking the words out of many viewers fingers but..... How do I POSSIBLY get a chili powder label like that?? The Detail, The Precision! EPIC lol

  • @JPM32007 It's easy. Use tape and a sharpie. Are you writing this down? :)

  • uho love it, most the way that you explain everything sound easy and it is.. thank you for you time.

  • Have you ever tried using real chillies to make the sauce ? I've always used chillies , I refuse to use chilli powder because I feel like it would lose the "roasted chilli" flavor they normally get. I am curious if you have ever used chillies and if you noticed a big difference in flavor.

  • @sith95240 Oh absolutely! Real chilies are far superior to the powder. I used powder because not all people can get or want to deal with fresh chilies. I soak dried ancho chilies in steaming water till they soften. Remove stem, toss in food processor with fresh garlic, white onion, cumino seeds and a pinch of salt. I run this on high speed until it becomes a loose paste. I keep this in small containers in the freezer and use it in place of powder. The smell is insanely intoxicating. :)

  • You are really obsessed with using bouillon cubes, aren't you? If you read their ingredients, you would realize how unhealthy they are.

  • @wjmortician Since when did anyone ever make the rediculous mistake of assuming enchiladas were health food?

  • Oh my goodness those look amazing . Yum

  • This is mexican-american, not mexican.

  • @raymex27 Enchiladas aren't a Mexican dish, They're a mayan dish....so your comment is a bit odd and incorrect.

  • How do i double the ingredients for the sauce? I want to make a dozen of enchiladas for my family this weekend. Thankyou, and i liked your video! very intresting lol

  • @Lolita82ify To double the sauce just double every ingredient for the sauce and you'll have lots of extra sauce to serve over them later or for whatever you need it for.

  • @Praxxus55712 thankyou for responding back:) I cant wait until i make them this weekend, im excited and so is my family :)

  • that looks good

  • tried this and yes this was good

  • This guy can cook!

  • They are excellent. We have made them several times now, and they are the best I have ever ate. Could you please show us how to make Mexican Tortilla's?

  • At the end of the video my stomach started grumbling. Thanks for the great recipe :)

  • thanks so much! U should apply to be on one the cooking reality shows, maybe Masterchef. You remind me Ben Star, personality wise =)

  • Every mexican recipe is different. Just like white people don't all have the same recipe for pot roast. LOL Looks good! We may have to try it. Great job.

  • Typically Chile Colorado is used (made from pureed tomato, onion, reconstituted guajillo or chile californio peppers, cloves & cumin) the cheese is usually "Queso Fresco", "Cotija" or "Chihuahua" filling is whatever you want usually shredded beef or chicken that was made in some stock. U dip tortilla (corn ones) in sauce, fry quickly & lightly in manteca, add filling roll it up, repeat til u make as many as u like, top with lettuce, tomato, crema, and fresco. Serve immediately. Michoacan style

  • @nathanscooking You need to stop typing. You made me drool on myself. :)

  • @nathanscooking Ah ha! I'm going for this one!! Sounds and smells like the real deal!! Authenic!! Thanks!!

  • Very different from what you get in Mexico, or from what my Mexican friends & family make, but they look very delicious and I am sure they are BOMB, I consider those "Tex-Mex" or prob "Mexican American"

  • Made it for dinner tonight and it was delicious!!!!

  • I'm having a hard time doing the sauce for some reason it turns out super thick. Are you using the all purpose flour?

  • @mailarrley

    I am sure he is using all purpose as most any gravy, sauce or roux is made using it. You may want to use half stick of butter and only 2 1/2-3 tablespoon of flour. You can always thin with a little bit of water at a time, also it only needs to simmer 4-6 mins otherwise it will thicken back up. Good Luck.

  • Looks really good, I'll have to try that recipe.

  • Can I come over to your house for dinner? lol This looks DEEEEE-licious!!!

  • LOL You kept adding stuff on top, it reminded me of the SNL Taco Town tacos. I was waiting for some whipped cream and a cherry :D

    Looks very tasty!

  • Thanks for your speedy response, What about the beef stock for the enchilada filling? Your recipe says 2 beef cubes for that, so how much beef stock for the filling?

  • @petitecutie15 You can pour in a cup of stock and simmer until the liquid evaporates. That'll leave the flavor but not the liquid.

  • Also if i use beef stock do I still add the extra cup and half of water if i wanted to make extra sauce? will it make it to liquidy?? I want to make these this weekend

  • @petitecutie15 You would just replace the water with stock. I would use 3 cups and let it reduce down by simmering to give it a better flavor since stock tends to be a bit bland. Also add a pinch of salt to taste since stock has less salt than cubes. For extra sauce, just add extra stock and a pinch more spices to taste. It'll be delicious! Your family is going to love you for this. The downside is they'll want you to make it often. LOL

  • If i choose to use beef stock instead of beef cubes, how much beef stock do i use??

  • i'm making this tonight

  • I did not see you add salt? when do you have to add salt?

  • @cirrrocco No added salt is used in this recipe. If you use beef cubes you won't need salt. If you use saltless beef cubes or beef stock, you just toss in a small pinch to taste.

  • @Praxxus55712

    Thanks I tried it today and it was easy and fabulous.!!!!. Thanks for making something even I can make..

  • @cirrrocco with all those bouillon cubes, there's no need for extra salt! lol

  • First of all Mexicans did invent enchiladas its the other cultures who followed the recipe yet changed many to some ingredients...its like a hamburger but in some cultures they consider it not with meat but ham its the same for enchiladas is any one following what I'm saying?

  • @915LOCA I'm sorry but you're wrong. Mayans invented them and they existed centuries before Mexicans ever existed on this planet.

  • @915LOCA Praxx is right dude. Do some research and you will find the truth.

  • @Praxxus55712 Thank you so much! I used your video & recipe to cook this dish for my roommates & a few other friends here in college. It made the entire house smell so good that everyone couldn't wait to eat! Filled everyone up & they loved them sooo much, I can't wait for the next time that I can make these for someone! They're great :) Thanks again!
