All time favorite……😋
you guys are the besttt
That’s not the way we Hispanic or Mexican people cook enchiladas ! And that lady cooking never have liked the way she is she extremely stuck up
@11:47 am I the only one who noticed they revealed the brands for one shot, lol?
I love Erin 🙂
ATK, HI,,,,Why is it that you guys REALLY LOVE VEVETABLE OIL ? The LAST time this was in my home was 20 years ago, why ? It’s a GMO,AS IS CANOLA SOY,, ALL I USE , are EVOO,AVOCADO,GRAPE SEED, GHEE & ORGANIC COCONUT OIL, , my salads , AVOCADA, & SHERRY VINEGAR ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Flank steak is great for stir frys. I think Chinese restaurants used flank steak back in the day. The meat was easy to chew!
None of the above torillas all are bad they have hydrogenated fats. GMO oils.
Yummy ive never had these with ground beef. These enchiladas are Tex-mex style enchiladas, not authentic Mexican enchiladas. I suggest to use fresh corn tortillas and first cook them in a skillet in a bit of oil to make them pliable and pat exess. They do look so delicious and I'm open for new recipes so I will be making them soon. 😋
Omg these are not New Mexico enchiladas. I love this channel but no
Yum 😋 now I want some. I wish I worked at American Test Cooking to taste 👅 all the food
The best tortillas are corn tortillas from "El Milagro " in Chicago here in Pilsen
I made this and wasn’t crazy about the sauce. I thought the ancho chiles overpowered the sauce. Next time I’ll use New Mexico chiles and more chipotle peppers.
Lady Erin & Sir Keith are absolutely wrong about cilantro & sour cream…. For those of us who either don't like or are allergic to or have a dietary restriction or more to either of these two ingredients, they are not being used or consumed. Other than that, I personally would boil my beef broth on the stove instead of the microwave…. It just means I didn't take any other shortcuts, it's all about being authentic.
Another amazing kitchen tutorial 🙏🏻
again another great video. I'm going to try and simplify and skip the blender, and just chop them finer….
Thank you!
Those enchiladas cost $5 each, when all costs are factored in, something totally unaffordable for cafeterias.
Wait, this doesn't taste like soap, better put more cilantro on it!
Something I dislike about US processed foods is that everything contains corn syrup, CORN SYRUP in flour tortillas!!! Grrr!
The method is good, but hamburger meat is not traditional in Mexico, I think this is TexMex, I make these with chicken or just cheese and onion filling.
I’m sorry, we never use ground beef on enchiladas. You would be hanged if you ever did in our fam. No american cheese nor Black Olives. You make them seperately not like you made them, its a enchiladas cassarole
This is an Americanized version.
Where the al carbon? Thats the whole point of the steak taco.🙄🤔🤨
I’m making these tacos tonight! I’ve got some tri-tip in the freezer that will work just fine
We just made these enchiladas. I think we ended up using too many ancho chilis, because it wasn't clear if you use 1.5 oz whole anchos (ended up making .8 oz once seeded) or 1.5 ounces once seeded and stemmed. We opted for the latter, and the enchiladas were still tasty, but much too spicy and chili forward. We're going to try it again this weekend with the proper chili amount. Still, as recipe mishaps go, this one was still tasty!
I have to admit, love everyone, but I absolutely ADORE Julia Colin Davison!!!
So, like is Julia's father Stephen Frey or Bernard Cribbins?
Such a great program but sadly not as interesting as it was during Christopher Kimball's time. Once he left it just not the same.
I'd soak chilis in water then discard so bitterness goes with the water, garlic in too early and ended up burnt(brown garlic is burnt garlic).
Not sure why anyone would be down on enchiladas. Our family loves them and this recipe would make a tasty version.
Bridget is my ❤
Wow 🤩 nice
Can y’all add those timeline names?
What manufacturer of grill are you using ATK?
Easily the best ground beef enchiladas I’ve ever eaten or fixed. Thank you so much Erin and ATK! The only thing I did different was add a little more broth to the sauce. The routine with the tortillas worked perfectly.
