Watcha cookin'?

[Jong Lafitte]

I had to make some cheese enchiladas. I love greasy Tex mex style cheese enchiladas from questionable joints so I set out to figure it out. Probably made like 4 batches or more of the homemade chili sauce, probably 20 enchiladas over two weeks lol. A few different batches:



And ya the plating looks like DDs fajita round up in Sedona Arizona but the flavor is there; i often overestimated how thick the sauce is supposed to be





Combo #1 enchilada, tamale (got from friends neighbor, taco rice and beans) beans too thick for restaurant style:



Probably still a bit thick:


So 3 cups chicken broth now this is kinda what I’m working with:

Try hydrating your dried chiles then roasting them, blend them, and add a little vinegar to your sauce for an acid kick.

Like. I have always reserved enchiladas for a little place in Kings beach. But as things are I might have to give it a try. Looks really good.

Looks to be fried pickle slices.

Good call, definitely willing to eat every single bite. I LOVE fried pickles.

Love me some fried pickles! Basic dill slices tossed in white flour seasoned with yellow curry powder and then fried to perfection with dipping sauce made of 50% a mix of lime juice and curry powder briefly microwaved to rehydrate the spices and 50% mayo. Not exactly a light snack but real good eatin'.

MTM crab cakes look bomb!

So I bought a piece of brisket thinking it was a flank steak and marinated it tex mex style (basic lime, oj, garlic, soya sauce etc) to grill and have as fajitas as I normally do with flanks. Weird random cut, never seen brisket cut this thin. I'm assuming ~1 lb of an inch and a half thick cut of brisket is going to take more work? Still prefer to have the end result on wraps but am open to any ideas / methodologies from bbq to braising. Shit smoking too if it's even worth it for a small piece.

Please anything other than another stew fml lol thx.

Do you have a sous vide cooker? Might be able to toss the whole thing in the water bath for ~24h @ 155ish and then sear it off briefly while reducing the bag juice into sauce for the wraps.

[Thaleia]

Negative but damn, that's a solid approach I appreciate that. You got me looking at prices but can't really justify non essential purchases atm.

Saint paddy's tacos bitch.

A little stone ground mustard, maybe some kraut, and some mushy Yukon gold.

Got a pressure cooker?

Funny thing, I got an instant pot (duo crisp so it is an air fryer too). I am not so sure I'd stew a brisket in it though. It does make tasty b3f stew in a hurry.

Flank and skirt are not tender cuts either. If you cooked it to med-rare just like flank, then sliced it wicked thin, it would probably work.

You already marinated it, give it a brief braise, don’t stew it

Just throw it in there for an hour.

That's kind of a distinction without a difference, isn't it?

Dry off the brisket and brown it in neutral oil in instant pot. Once it's browned add canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, cumin, few tablespoons of honey, onion and garlic powder, s&p. Pressure cook for 1.5 hours. Make some slaw cabbage serve w pickled red onions, cilantro, and avocado in the wraps.

I make this w boneless chicken thighs but the brisket should work too.

A braise is usually less liquid, think lamb shanks, short ribs or pot roast, a stew would be more liquid.

Love me some osso buco.
