NM stacked enchiladas

[SmokinEdge]

We are in the process of making a real treat. New Mexico style stacked enchiladas. These will have a carne adovada base (pork in red Chile) but be smothered in pork green Chile sauce to finish. I like to first get some smoke on the pork. In the kettle vortex with a lump of mesquite. Stay tuned for the build.

These will be red Chile with the interior meat and green Chile gravy over the top. Red and green, flavor bomb.

A tidbit of useless information - Red and Green is referred to as Christmas.

Justin here is the base of my red Chile for adovada, I can explain more if you need. This was for tacos but using same process and meat in the enchiladas.

If you don’t mind, just a bit more info on the measurements… man Eric… that looks amazing.

The build. You need to flash fry the corn tortillas for texture, you can also cook them in a skillet or comal just to lightly toast.

A little bit of Chile sauce goes on the bottom of the pan first, then line with tortillas. I cut some in half to fit the cake pan (this is a casserole of sorts)
Then on top a layer of beans and some meat, this is with red Chile sauce.

Then another layer of tortillas and repeat.

Top off with one more layer of tortillas and top with pork green Chile gravy and finish with shredded cheese.

Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Plate shot coming.

The meat chopped after smoking but before red Chile sauce.
