My first time making these Tex-Mex style cheese enchiladas and onions with a chili gravy (from scratch!) but it couldn't have been easier. Can't wait to dig in.

Damn, those are made with LARD. I bet those are amazing.
- Trish R
move back to LA so you can invite me over. Or, wait, I'll just move there. Or, even better, I'll invent teleportation! Enchiladas inspire innovation.

It has been decided: I'm making these for us for dinner tomorrow night. Pretty sure I'll halve the recipe, however.
- Akiva
But if you do the whole recipe you can use the leftovers in scrambled eggs over the weekend! Super yum!

That is a lot of enchiladas for two peopLe. Wonder if they'd freeze.
- Akiva
I bet they would, Akiva. Maybe make them in two 8x8 pans?
- Derrick
Let us know, Akiva! I want to know how the tortillas hold up in the freezer.
- LB: #TeamMonique
If you reheat them in the microwave with a wet paper towel, they SHOULD rehydrate. Theoretically.
- Akiva
I made these 2 days ago and froze the leftovers in individual serving containers. I'm going to heat one up for lunch today.
- Trish R
DANG IT. This makes me hungry every time it's bumped.

Trish, I expect a full report. IN TRIPLICATE.
- Akiva
Dear Derrick: I am pining for your enchiladas. And a hug. And perhaps a margarita, but definitely the enchiladas & hug.<3, Warmaiden

Oh shit. What a genius idea. I should buy the elements I need to build margaritas to go along with tonight's dinner.
- Akiva
Except that charro beans have meat in them.
- Akiva
I make them without meat. Just leave out the bacon.
- Trish R
I may take you up on this. I've just found that recipes that require dropping bacon tend to produce unsatisfactory vegetarian versions. Have you ever had a good BLT without the bacon? DIDN'T THINK SO, TRISH. DIDN'T THINK SO.
- Akiva
That makes sense but I didn't miss it. I also used a can of Ro-tel instead of the fresh tomatoes because I"m lazy. I thought it was good.
- Trish R
Actually, Rotel [and don't tell Rochelle but Bacon Salt] might be good replacements. The Rotel will add more substance [and don't tell Rochelle but the Bacon Salt would add, well, bacon-y goodness].
- Akiva
HOLD DA PHONE. I just closely examined Derrick's recipe: CORN TORTILLAS? WTF IS THIS ATROCITY
- Akiva
FYI: They're just as delicious reheated after being frozen. Not dry at all using the microwave.
