I want to improve in any way I can! I'll write out the recipe I used and you can see if it's good or bad lol.
Forgot to take a pic once everything was plated! I drizzled extra enchilada sauce and a dollop of sour cream on top when serving. Served with esquites, quac and Spanish/Mexican rice.
For the enchilada sauce:
I added 4 each of guajillo and ancho chillies (deseeded), 2 cloves garlic and half an onion to a pot, added water and brought to the boil for 15mins. I drained the water and added the chillies, garlic and onion to the blender and added chicken stock, 1/2 tsp mexican oregano, 1/2 tsp cumin, salt and pepper. Once smooth, I added a little oil to a saucepan and added the sauce and allowed it to reduce and thicken a little bit.
Filling: shredded chicken mixed with some of the enchilada sauce and feta cheese (couldn't find any Mexican cheeses close by)
Topped with lettuce, onion and feta cheese.

Looks great
The enchiladas look perfect.
Rice needs a little work.
If you want to, you can easily make queso fresco at home. If you like the taste of the feta stick with it. In Mexico people will use whatever they have at hand.
Taco here. 100% fire 🔥 🫡✊
As a Mexican, let me tell you great work! Esquites are more a snack than a side dish, but if you like them, enjoy!
Everything looks great! One tip for the rice: after you add the liquid to the rice, give a good stir just once, then as soon as liquid boils, cover and turn down to a simmer (as low as you can go) and leave covered until rice is soft. If rice looks too wet, leave on simmer l and covered just a bit longer. Do NOT stir again at all.
Good job!
Looks good!
I hope white corn becomes more popular everywhere. Esquites and most things here in Mexico are prepared with white corn, or with white hominy, which compared to yellow corn, is not “sweet” if that makes sense.
Salsa?
Looks tasty
Looks awesome but you’re missing the beans
Looks delicious!
I’m probably going to have to come over and try them just to be sure they are good.
Gorgeous! What is the yellowish dish in the middle?
All looks fabulous. For your enchiladas topping, recommend adding some sour or fraiche cream (both pair nicely with feta) and onions rings instead of chopped. Enjoy!!!
The whole setup looks great!
Looks good. I’d eat it!
OoooOOoooh looks GOOD! Now I’m hungry.
Dude … that looks pretty damn good
Critique: there isn’t enough of them because I would eat twice this many.
How were you able to get some of the ingredients in such distant place?
Look good my dude. The only critique i have is that enchiladas are called that way because those are tacos drowned in salsa and yours look kida dry.
I can’t improve on the critiques given. The meal looks splendid! Maybe beans, but I would gladly partake in this meal with you!
ohmygod. feta cheese! most of us would have had to settle for cheddar. but i love feta cheese, so i would be into it. its just so different that it made me giggle.
anyway-looks fantastic. well done you.
The tortillas look awesome hopefully they taste as good as they look.
Where’s the whiskey? I think you’re lying about being Irish ☘️ 🤪
As a chef once at the great el caporal in prosser 👍 approved
They look closer to enchiladas potosinas… but they look edible
…love that you included the line in your…I’ma assuming…cola ..you’re Mexican at heart!!!
The sauce needs to be covering the enchiladas generously. Also, lightly fry each tortilla first before rolling the enchiladas. Get the oil really hot and flip with tongs, 3-5 seconds each side in the oil then after they cool you can add whatever filling and roll them in an oven pan and cover them with sauce then cheese and heat in the oven until the cheese is all melted and hot.
I think you did an excellent job and I won’t add to the advice as you’ve gotten lots, other than to say there probably should be (refried) beans as well.
Californian here. I’d smash it…
My mom will usually also add some sour cream to top them off and a home made salsa, your choice! Other than that mate, they look amazing! 💪🏻 you can also make them more “wet” by using more tomato sauce but that’s just up to preference.
It’ll do lad, it’ll do
Looks much better than what most Americans do! (Americans straight up DO NOT know how to do enchiladas, period)
Finally someone non-Mexican making Mexican food look good & actually what it is. Missing that salsa though😋🥶
More sauce!
Enchiladas look amazing!
Looks amazing!
