Tex Mex Restaurant Style Enchiladas 

Being from south Texas, close the the Mexican border, I have to say that you did well. I have never seen anyone put chili powder in rice! Try adding onions or onion powder to the rice. For the beans, remove the browned garlic and place in a blender before adding to the pan for a smoother consistency, and for refried beans i have never seen people add chili powder either and beans will dry on their own without needed corn starch

Cooking it all up right now!!! So far all taste tests are good.

I am a self taught "Chef" so to speak and I love to cook, I can't eat at a lot of places because my food is better in my opinion. I only say that to say that this enchilada recipe is the best I have ever had. If I find a restaurant that has a dish I like, my wife fusses at me because I will work on my recipes for years to perfect them if they don't meet my taste standards. I would not change a think about this recipe, it is perfect. Thank you for sharing.

This looks reallygood but I would not use chili powder in rice or beans. The rice needs cumin onion bell pepper. Also enchiladas are best made by dipping the tortillas in the sauce then rolling them up. Yes it gets messy but worth it #tejano #texican

I use bacon grease (I save bacon grease) in my refried beans and it is amazing. I like your rice recipe because I don’t make rice often so now I have a guide.

Always drain the beans into a bowl and then add the bean liquid back as needed.

Absolutely love your recipe for all 3

Looks amazing

looks grea t thanks for giving an easier process ive never made my own rice or sauce but i will now

Those beans looks delicious

Smackin' my lips 😅 I LOVE the way everything wasn't perfect like the garlic and pinto beans because that's how a kitchen really works and that alone is enough to have me SUBSCRIBED! Can't wait to do this Thanks 🥰

I've added comin and onion powder n kids love it .

Looks very good

some clever ideas in there fella. San Antonio native here living in Sweden for 21 years and i miss Mexican food like crazy or should I say tex mex food? I like the idea of the vinegar in the enchilada sauce for some Tang. I will try that and the tomato paste also. I'm tired of my usual chile gravy that I make.

Nice! Very thorough video my friend. 👍🏽 This is next on my menu of foods to try for scratch. 👌🏽Thanks for sharing!

Yum !!! I like to add onion and red & green bell peppers on top. (Even on rice & beans)

I just made this for my Mexican family and they loved it.

I enjoyed the video! Nice techniques, all of the food should be flavorful, with good textures. I watch a lot of these types of videos, and cook a lot of Mexican dishes. First time I've seen chili powder used in the beans, but I'm totally on board! I di my rice a little different. Your enchilada sauce is similar to how my wife makes it, she doesnt enjoy cooking as much as I do, myself, I use dried chiles, Ancho and guajillo. The onion, garlic and tomatoes come out of my garden.

Hi just found your channel. Good job. Looks very good. I will try it👏👏👏

Looks fantastic! Great job! My mouth is watering!

these are the best. as you know, my dad lives in the town of Kyle, Texas. he's lived in Cedar Creek, Smithville and Dumas!

Awesome sauce, I want some please❤

Thanks 😊 awesome looks delicious can't wait to make it for me and family 😋 ❤ 😊

Colorado refried beans use only lard and fresh cooked drained beans pinch of salt.

This was such a good video. Not just quick and perfect. A lot of good teaching.

One thing I do is make refried beans using my home made pinto beans. I use onions, jalapenos, salt, pepper, onion and garlic power.

Yum!!!

Was very good! Thank you for the recipe and presentation!

First of all great job,I have read some of the comments and everybody has their own way of making their enchilada’s, I personally don’t use chili powder on either rice or beans, neither the vinegar, (so that’s more Puerto Rican ,bisté ensavollado yum)going to have to try it this way,always good to explore different avenues ,or in this case recipes

Damn good video!!!

Great vid

Looks absolutely divine! I'm definitely going to try this recipe.

Yummy

Cool. I will try your recipe. Thanks for sharing. I used to work at a Mexican restaurant and loved to eat enchiladas.

I'm mexican...love enchiladas..all sorts of enchiladas..enchilada suiza, enchilada Potosina..u name it.. Loved ur recepie🤗🤤🤤🤤

Wowwww you are the first person that I’ve found made your plate from beginning to end sooo close to how I make mine. I think the only difference is that I use a can of refried beans and you added your sauce to the beef, which I am definitely going to try. I’m from Texas & this is the best way to get that Austin Texas restaurant style food at home. Yummmy 🤪

I really enjoyed your cooking class!!

It all looks delish. A tip The enchiladas when adding the knor- tomateo. It has enough salt. As for the beans you might want to added pork grease and use chorizo instead of veg. oil. drain the water from can beans. Refried them.

Excited to cook for 🍽

As chili powder tends to give me heartburn, I typically will use cayenne pepper in its place. Also, Mexican oregano is more pungent than the slightly more sweet mediterranean oregano.

Thank you best recipe so far!😍

Looks Awesome! Thanks! Better than what Mexican meal I ate out today!

Thank you for the recipes, all very straightforward and tasty!

THANKS

I like the chili powder, when I first learned how to make beans one of the first things I tried was chili powder. 70 years later I realize I haven't done that in over 50 years. Nowadays I just use chorizo.

A+ FOR.YOUR EFFORT... YOU ROCKED IT 🎸

I prefer shredded roast beef for the meat . I also dice onion and jalapeno and cook it with the meat. Then I add the cheese on the inside. I top mine with the sauce and queso fresco. Also the tortillas are better if you dip them in hot oil and fry them for a few seconds then pat the oil off they roll better that way .

You can try soft frying the corn tortillas then rolling on the next batch. It tastes pretty good.

Definitely going to try this! TY

I never thought to microwave the tortillas! Brilliant!

Rick Bayless is the best resource on RU-vid for learning authentic Mexican cooking

Once beans start cooling down, they will thicken even if a little soupy.

I tried this recipe. It was easy to make and produced a fantastic flavor Tex Mex dish. Try it you will love it.

Great video. I have to make this….yummy!

Where’s the jalapeño, onion and cilantro for the rice

Which enchilada sauce u use? Please let me know ASAP Iam cooking now thanks lots ❤

Why do we watch these videos before bedtime ?

How long have you been cooking? Just wondering?

Lol it's ok just keep cooking the beans than turn the heat down and they will thicken than add heat again.

I Love Enchiladas 👍👍Nicely Done Looking Good 👍

Looks really beautiful and tasty

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'm going to try it out this week! :)

Looks so yummy 😋. Love how you go into detail on the amount of all ingredients. 🎉

Everything looks good. I use a little bacon grease for refried beans and to brown my rice.

This turned out great. Thanks !!!

I'm gonna have to try this recipe. It'll be the first time I make enchiladas so I'm excited. And the glamour shots looked so good it made me hungry.

Soo good .

I give him credit for trying..😊

A+ I'll drain the bean water. Thank you for making the video.

Beans are perfect..Thanks!!!

I kind of like the video, with you making some mistakes, but continuing on. And I also like people in the comment section, advising you and all of us, on how to improve this cooking segment. In my life, I seem to always learn more, after screwing up a bit. Good job.

I wrote this all down because I am about to make it all! I have been looking for that rice recipe my whole life. I actually found Goya brand tomato bouillon today! Although you didn't do this next step, I am gonna add the crappy lettuce tomato garnish on the side , lol

What no cheese on the rice? You may like to add minced white onions to the rice too. As for the beans let the water evaporate first before smashing them.

Most Tex-Mex restaurants serve enchiladas with tomato and lettuce on the side. I prefer it that way was well.

Yeah, some people use part of the bean liquid, but that causes the beans to be waaaay more gassy.

I too am from South Texas and I was very impressed with your recipe. Do remember 1 thing, there is no wrong way when cooking your own dishes, there is only your way and that would be the right way for you. Now for the beans, we call that the learning curve so no worries!!! Take care buddy it looked damn good to me!

Mom fry’s them a little in oil then dips them in the gravy.

Looks great. I live in KC,MO, and we have NOTHING like Tex-Mex here. Looks perfect to me! My mouth is watering.

Cornstarch slurry was a great idea for a more creamy consistency

I actually like my re-fried beans a little runny. 👍

The Mediterranean/European oregano is the first to be called oregano. When Spaniards got to Mexico they found herb that tasted like oregano back home but had stronger flavor. Scientifically Mexican oregano is not really in oregano plant family. I like both.

Ok for refried beans they have to be refried. Pour them out of the can if you choose to use canned cook em and smash them until all the juice from the can is gone, then add the lard and keep stirring. You fried them once lol, you gotta refry them. Also chicken bullion not tomato bullion, you already put tomato paste, cumin, onion and garlic is all you need for Spanish rice. After the 20 minutes is up on the rice do not remove the lid. Turn off the fire and let it sit for another 10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork. Good effort you'll get there.. Texmex is worth it

All the “Texans” are correcting him😂 it’s his kitchen and you ain’t cookin😂

Mexican oregano is also called pot - joke

that rice recipe at the beginning -- can that be thrown into a rice cooker?

looking at the thumbnail caused me to shit my pants, thanks a lot

Next time use Ancho tea in your sauce, instead of chicken broth... And put under broiler instead of baking.. To melt the cheese... How it is done in san Antone

I add cheese to my beans when I make to runny.

Use bacon grease for beans

Sorry, you lost me at the vinager. What part of Texas are you fro

Rice should be milder tasting.But liked the video

Give it time

Drain the beans and or cook off the water. It will thicken. Zero need for using cornstarch.. otherwise it's a decent video. Been cooking tex mex for decades. My grandpa just used wolf brand chilli vs making a chilli sauce. Idk of thats dependant on the region

This video reminds me of an experience I had going to a Mexican restaurant years ago. It seems the place had a house seasoning and put it liberally everywhere, the fajita meat, the beans, the rice, the salsa. 😔 it was just too much. Rather than each dish complementing the other with each of its flavors, everything tasted the same….. like cumin. 😕 Mexican or TexMex does not mean that cumin has to go in everything. Each dish has its own ingredients that deliver a unique flavor and that makes it iconic. Your rice came out like my first attempt at making rice ever….. yes I too put too much tomato sauce 🥫. Mom then revealed the secret 🤫… only 2tablespoons is sufficient, unless you are making a party size pot

Why don't you use beef broth if you are useing beef

Have to say, this is a great, great recipe~! And show~! Could do without the music however. Just rather listen to you.

Recipe

Son, you first lost me when you put way too much tomato sauce in the rice, made me cringe when you burned the garlic and didn't start over, cringe again when you added corn starch to the beans, then shocked me when you didn't sauce the tortillas or add cheese to the inside. I hope you've progressed in your cooking skills in the past year since you made this video. PS, never use burned garlic, it permeates the food with a bitter taste.

Some people like refried beans more runny

just the way my mom made them
