First of all I have to mention this little local chain of grocery stores called JR Produce. They make tortillas fresh in the store daily and their produce is beautiful. It is a very ethnic/local culture friendly grocery store. I love that you walk in and hear Besame Mucho playing on the speakers and it smells like a bakery. They sell fresh Agua Fresca drinks, too. It is going to be a new local stop for me. Great goodies and service... I am a new fan!
I spent some time making enchiladas this week. I did my own take on it with an enchilada layered casserole instead of rolling the individual enchiladas
The only one I rolled was this one that I tested the recipe with.
A good chef ALWAYS tastes the product right?
...Especially if it is enchiladas! LOL
I took all the classic ingredients and just layered it like a lasagna.
The particular Salsa Verde I used was a tweaked version of Rick Bayless recipe.
(not much tweaking just made it my own a little for fun)
I covered the whole thing with the salsa and Monterrey Jack cheese
Lots of cheese...
The particular chiles I used were the local Hatch Chiles.
They are in season RIGHT NOW!
They are in season RIGHT NOW!
I even bought 30 pounds of them roasted for the freezer to get us through the winter.
They have their annual festival coming up the first weekend of September.
...and here is a section of the finished casserole.
It was a huge hit with my family and with my client that ordered it this week.
It is a new permanent recipe in my files.
