    Flour tortillas? British Bros use corn tortillas! Also texmex? More like brit-try-hard-mex. Y'all need to come down to texas for some real texmex or hell hop over border and get some real Mexican food.

    it doesn't seem bad, but as a general rule you don't want to go by an english recipe of a texas recipe of a mexican food. stick to the og source material for best results. i'm always happy to share recipes if anyone wants them.

    Love the feta, made the enchiladas but swapped the jalapeños for mild chilies. When someone ate all my tortillas the next time, added more stock, 2- 14 oz can of tomatoes and made chicken chili. Spring onion added to the garnish. Yum.

    Native San Antonian and lifelong lover of Tex-Mex. Enchiladas should NEVER have flour tortillas. Corn only. And, just call it cilantro if you're making a Tex-Mex meal. Don't call it coriander. 😛

    I know the video is over a year old, but I'm surprised no one mentioned that this is like a leveled up version of King's Ranch Chicken Casserole. The original King's Ranch Chicken, while a college staple, has been called the most boring Tex-Mex dish ever invented. You guys have definitely taken this dish to a better level. In parts New England (USA) it was known as La Sita Chicken after a restaurant that featured a version. There was a restaurant in Seoul that also served La Sita Chicken. Growing up we called any sauced dish with flour tortillas Gringo Enchiladas.
    After reading most of your Mexican/Mexican-American recipes I have learned to forgive you for using flour tortillas instead of corn. Corn tortillas until recently were nearly impossible to find in UK. We only consistently start getting acceptable ones in New England (USA) about 5 years ago. Now might be a good time to remake some of your Mexican/Mexican-American dishes using the correct tortillas.

    BEN, NOOOO.
    I love how you started explaining with such confidence and then YOU KNEW that was not enchiladas! You couldn't keep it up! 😂😂😂 I really enjoy watching your videos but I cannot stand by that monstrosity. Enchiladas are my favorite!
    1 – Flour tortillas are a big no no. Use corn tortillas.
    2 – The salsa doesn't have all those things in it. If you want to experiment, try doing it as the filling only. The salsas are either red (roja) or green (verde). As you can probably guess they are so named because of the color of their ingredients. Aside from personal seasoning here is a very basic breakdown:

    Roja – Tomatoes with Chile Pasilla, Chile de árbol or Guajillo. Those are usually the main 3. There are many variations, usually with dry chiles. This one is meant to be really spicy and usually served with Queso Cotija (dry cheese, I guess feta can work if you can't find Cotija).

    Verde – Tomatillo, cilantro (coriander) with Chile Serrano or Jalapeño, even Poblano. This one is more acid and fresh. It's not necessarily as spicy because it's the one most commonly used for baking and is complemented with Queso Asadero/Oaxaca (similar to mozzarella) or Swiss cheese.

    3 – Depending on how you want to serve them, you can fry the tortillas and then soak them in the salsa. Some people like to do this backwards. It depends on the region. Then add the filling of chicken, beef or cheese, even vegetables. Again, it depends where you're at.
    4 – You opted for baking and that's more for what we call Enchiladas Suizas. You still need to at least heat the tortillas before rolling them because you don't want them to have a pasty or raw-like texture after you soak them with the salsa and you want them to really absorb the flavor. Also, to prevent that, you can soak bottom and top with the salsa (roja o verde, most likely verde).
    5 – Lastly, there are some variations to the dish. If you use Mole sauce, they are called Enmoladas. You can also do a mix of the salsa roja and beans as the sauce, those are called Enfrijoladas.

    Next time just call it a casserole! 😜
