I've made this dish and it is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia,
ReplyDeleteSo happy you like it too! It's one of our favorites. :-)
Ayla, I am planning on making this tomorrow for my hubby to take to the mountains. It is the perfect dish for reheating.
ReplyDeleteI have tortilla maker ,but I think this grain free dough might be too thin for it.. Well , I will let you know how it turns out!
Thank you !
Are you feeling better?
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I didn't see this until this evening (Wed.). I do believe this batter is too thin to put into a press where you need a thicker "dough". I agree that this dish would be a great dish to take and reheat though. Hope you figured something out already! :-)
Hi Ayla, so sorry that you are still under the weather!
ReplyDeleteI am in a panic as I am making the sauce, it does not get thick, I have been stirring it for a long time. How thick is it supposed to be?
Should I add a little Xanthem gum ?
I lost a post again!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you are not well yet!
I can not render the cheese sauce to a thicker consistency, should I add more cream cheese or add some Xanthem gum?
In the photo you seem to have used a combination of cheddar and Jack???
I hope that you can help as I have to finish the dish tonight.
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteIt thickens slightly as you make it and after it bakes with the enchiladas and cools a little, it thickens. It will seem very juicy when you pour it over the enchiladas. If you are worried about it, you could add a little pinch of xanthum gum and whisk it in. It soaks into the enchiladas and with the extra cheese on top, etc., it does thicken nicely as it cools a bit. I don't add xanthum to the sauce but if you want it thicker, a little wouldn't hurt it at all. :-)
Thank you dear Ayla for answering so quickly, you are the sweetest Lady ! Just discovered that I have the wrong cheese , it is the spicy jack and my husband likes things rather bland, of course it is the opposite from me, why have it easy, lol.
ReplyDeleteso off to the store I go. It looks as if you used some cheddar?
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteYes, you are correct. This time I used a combination of cheddar and jack. Sometimes I use "pepper-jack" cheese. Usually use what I have on hand. I, too, like it a little spicier but I enjoy it both ways. Sometimes I use Sargento's Mexican Style blend of shredded cheese as well. I hope your husband enjoys it.
I am hoping I can shake this virus soon. I would just like the coughing at night to stop so I can get some sleep and rest. Hope you are doing well. :-)
I am really sorry that you do no get enough rest.
ReplyDeleteAyla, this dish turned out so delicious ! I am so happy to have another wonderful make ahead dinner. I made a double batch of tortillas, I used my crepe pan.I had a few damaged tortillas; so I spread some sour cream on them and sprinkled some cinnamon and sweve on them.I poured a few teaspoons of *beurre noisette* over them. It was so good; I thought I was eating authentic crepes. My husband adores them; especially Crepe Suzette !Next time I will try some heated marmalade(low sugar) with Cointreau mixed in! I had omitted the spicy seasoning ; so I was able to do it. Thank you so much! Be well soon. I heard that eating dark chocolate is more helpful than cough medicine!
Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy this turned out well for you and that you enjoyed them! Sounds like you made "perfect use" of the damaged tortillas and it sounds delicious. I have filled the enchiladas with just chicken and cheese and also added sautéed peppers, onions, etc. along with the chicken and cheese. You can change them up a bit as you like.
I will definitely give dark chocolate a try...it sounds like a "tasty" way to help my cough! So happy you enjoyed this recipe. :-)
