Cheesy Homemade Enchiladas
Happy Cinco De Mayo Tumblrs! Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican defeat of French forces in a clash during the Battle of Puebla in Mexico, in 1862. Mexican Independence Day is September 16. I’ve learned a little bit about Mexico in the past couple years. I live and work in California, and CA used to be part of Mexico. Sometimes when I’m looking at the hillsides, I try to think back hundreds or thousands of years and imagine what it looked like back then. Some of my co-workers are from Mexico and they’re awesome. Some are from Spanish ancestry and some are Indigenous People. Mexican food is amazing, because it’s a mix of so many ingredients and cuisines, going back hundreds and thousands of years. It’s a massive essay to explore all the flavors and influences. My favorite part of the day while working on a landscape, is lunchtime. I usually get steak tacos with all the sauces, and then we sit around and tell stories, before getting back to hard ass work.
This is a dish which I particularly crave, corn tortilla enchiladas, either stuffed with cheese, black beans, or chicken. I usually don’t get this for lunch at work, because it’s sometimes too messy to get from a carry out place. I also like to make it at home because when you go out, no matter how nice the restaurant is, chances are you aren’t getting organic corn tortillas, and you might even be getting genetically modified corn. So I just make it at home.
I made this for lunch yesterday, and I have leftover sauce so I can make more today. I think I need to make some Taquitos today too, because I have all the ingredients and I need more crunch in my diet. And just fyi, the Vallarta recently started carrying a small selection of organic produce, beans, chicken, and some other products. Yay to not living in a food desert.
I recently started trying to crack the formula of basic enchilada sauce. It’s easier and faster than I thought. Basically you’re cooking a roux, with chili powder, tomato paste and seasonings, adding stock or broth and then stir and thicken.
In a sauce pan or skillet, add 1 tablespoon butter, a drizzle of olive oil, 1 small chopped sweet onionorshallot, 3 to 7 minced garliccloves,saltandpepper. Add 2 tsp all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon tomato paste and let it cook a bit. Add 2 teaspoons chili powder, and 1 additional tsp Ancho chili powder, 1 cup vegetable broth or chicken stock, or wine or water. I also added a spoonful of home made poblano salsa fresca that I made yesterday (optional). Simmer to thicken, blend if you want it nice and smooth. Heat the oven to 400. Roll corn tortillas around cheese, I used mozzarella, but you could use pepper jack or cheddar, or whatever you have. Pour some of the sauce in the bottom of a baking pan, add the rolled enchiladas, cover with more sauce, a little more cheese, and bake until bubbly. Yum! Serve with margaritas and beer, and a salad dressed with lime juice and olive oil.

If I take away the idea that I’m not working and my workouts are modified, I might not be doing too bad considering the state that we’re in.
I’ve always cooked meals for my family but they weren’t home THIS much. The pandemic is forcing me to make food just a bit more and I’m okay with that.
Cooking takes my mind away from the b/s.
Despite the actual physical harm that COVID-19 does to the human body, the quarantine process exposes layers that I am forced to face about myself.
A Buzzfeed article about eating disorders and how practicing the safety protocols necessary from COVID-19 (i.e. staying indoors) are triggering for some people made a few things click. I listened to my internal dialogue yesterday and realize part of nervous energy stemmed from the reduction of my workouts. Thankfully I’m at a good place where I no longer believe in shit like earning my meal but light codependency in working out hard can dictate my happiness at times.
That reflection told me that I still have work to do AND I was in need of a meal that would make me forget about a damn pandemic. During these stressful times, I love creating hearty dishes and this was the one that came to mind. Might post up this recipe today.
I’m using this time to patch up some cracks within myself. And if I can make a bomb ass meal while on the mend, I’m winning.

SALSA VERDE CHIKN ENCHILADAS!
This meal has been such a staple lately, specially because they take so little to make and are super delicious and Mexican food is hands-down my favorite food of all time(and Japanese) . I could live very happily with just a basket of chips and salsa, and a plate of enchiladas served to me daily. Annnnnd a margarita or two wouldn’t hurt either.
I don’t have an exact recipe for this but this is how I make them: In a bowl I mix in around ½ cup of salsa verde and half a cup of Greek yogurt (I use @fage.es ) . I pour a small amount of the salsa into the bottom of a baking dish, then fill some corn tortillas with shredded chicken (you can also use a plant based chicken option) Roll tortillas and place them seam side down in the pan. Cover enchiladas with the remaining salsa/yogurt and sprinkle with cheese/vegan cheese of choice. I bake them for around 15-20 min until the cheese is melted and bubbly. I like to eat mines with guacamole, sour cream would be yum too ✨
Enjoying mine with my favorite kombucha ! @komvidakombucha
Ps: this is not how traditional enchiladas are made, just a healthier and easier version ✌
