I loved the sauce, I did add about 2 tsp chicken base and 1 jalapeno to the water for a little kick. I didn't want to fry the torilla so I rubbed a little oil on each side and then heated them up in a pan until crispy. Then I dipped them in sauce (which I didn't drain, I just took out the seeds from the chili's before putting them in the blender) and added the cheese (I mixed the fresco cheese with chedder cheese for more flavor), rolled them, sprinkled them with cheese, and then broiled them on high just until the cheese was melted on top. This is my new favorite red enchilada recipe!

Awesomesauce! I'm glad somebody finally put something like this up. I never heard or ate enchiladas that were baked in a casserole pan and everytime I eat Mexican I refuse to eat enchiladas cuz they're not made the "right" way. LOL. My mom is from mexico too and she taught me to dip flour tortillas in sauce then fry and while frying add ingredients such as cheese, beef/chicken, onions, etc...So delicious.

These are authentic! My husband is from Mexico and he said they were just like he had at the fiestas and ferias. I love finding real mexican recipes like this. It is not an americanized version of enchiladas, if that is what some may be looking for. These are the real deal!

We used the real mexican tortias and it made them so much better than the flour tortias in the store.

I agree with the other reviewers that the draining of the chiles doesn't make sense. I blended them with the liquid and then strained it back in the sauce pan, put it back on the heat to cook down a bit. Dipping first in the sauce fried out the flavor of the sauce. I also agree that the filling should be a melting cheese like Chihuahua and save the queso fresco for the toping. Over all the flavor was good, but the instructions seem to be missing pieces and vague. Maybe if we could all learn the recipe from her mother in law we'd get it! Thanks for a recipe that is truly mexican in style and not one of those oven baked, drowned in sauce and cheese things most people in the US think of a enchiladas! If you have a mexican grocery in your area, use crema instead of sour cream... lighter and more tangy on the tongue! (Don't forget a few slices of advocado and a sqweeze of lime on top!)

These tasted very authentic, just like mom used to make. For a lot less work and still great taste, I sometimes use the "Las Palmas" red enchilada sauce. Also, while more difficult,they taste better when dipped in the sauce first, then fried in oil since the oil cooks the sauce.

This meal was so very bland. My family loves Mexican food but asked me not to make these again.

THIS IS AN AUTHENTIC RECIPE AND GOOD! BUT TRY USING CHIHUAHUA CHEESE INSTEAD "YOU WILL GET IT MORE CHEESY OR TRY THE ORIGINAL MEXICAN COTIJA!FORE A MORE DRIER ENCHILADA. ALSO TRY FRYING YOUR TORTILLA A BIT FIRST THEN DIPPING INTO THE CHILI MIXTURE THEN ADDING YOUR ITEMS TO AVOID LOTS OF SPLATTERS AND UNCALLED FOR GREASE BURNS & BLISTERS! OTHERWISE THIS IS A PERFECT RECIPE AND EVEN MORE WITH SEASONED CHICKEN WITH SAUTED,ONIONS,TOMATOES AND GARLIC TILL A BIT DRY...ADDED TO THE CHEESE WHICH IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE AND SO SO FILLING!WE EAT THIS REGULARLY!

I was looking for somthing to do with a bag of chile de arbol peppers and was quite pleased with this recipe. I agreed with the other reviewer on, how do drained peppers, garlic and salt make a sauce. So I did not drain the water from the peppers. After making the adjustment, I would give it 4 stars. Good summer recipe. Thanks for sharing.

This was great! It's like an enchilada salad-perfect for spring and summer when regular (American) enchiladas are too heavy and hot. I use the Red Enchilada Sauce recipe from this site and change the assembly process a bit. I simply fry the tortillas (without first dipping in sauce)then place a little of the heated sauce on a plate, roll the cheese into the tortillas and place on the plate, and then top with more sauce and the rest of ingredients as indicated. Frying with the sauce was too splattery for me (I'm not that talented!) but this way I am able to capture the flavors and it is very easy. I love it! I added diced avocado the 2nd time I made it. YUM! This is now my favorite way to eat enchiladas-so fresh tasting!

Help! I must have done something wrong. The recipe says to drain the water from the chilis which I did but after adding the garlic and salt all I had was a paste. I couldn't dip the torillas in paste. How do you get a liquid if you drain the water. Otherwise the enchiladas weren't too bad but not what I thought.

This recipe was surprisingly light. My husband and three teenagers enjoyed it. I need to do better next time on the sauce, it came out somewhat watery. I used the "serve-with" recipe titled "Calabacitas con Queso" by Jyn and it was perfect!! I am going to make it again.
