Thank you for showcasing true mexican cuisine to the American audience.

I love how he’s still so excited about this.

When I was making my enchiladas for my store I would use freshly made white corn tortillas that I had roasted over open flame for a beautiful char. I would make a few hundred of them at a time and then make my tomatillo enchilada sauce and soften the tortillas quickly in the simmering sauce while assembling them. I would sell out of them in less than a day. And my store was located in a tiny little town in Northwest Wisconsin. I got the tortillas from a Mexican bakery in St Paul Mn. My grandmother from Iguala Mexico taught me how to open flame roast the tortillas to get the perfect taste without added fat. She was a diabetic and had to watch what she ate. I'm 60 years old now and STILL have to have my tortillas white corn only and then open flame roasted! She instilled my love of authentic true Mexican food. When she came to visit while I was at my father's house in Chicago, she would make me my eggs ham and cheese breakfast tortillas and hot chocolate while I ran to the Mexican bakery for our pastries to go with it. She didn't speak English and I didn't speak Spanish, but we taught each other enough to make it a magical thing. I was 13. The small amount of time that we had together is to this day one of my most cherished memories.

My favorite culinary moment to this day is when you won Top Chef Masters. Mexican vs Classic French. Thats not to say Mexican is "better" than French cuisine but it sure isn't less than. What a beautiful moment.

Its really hard to compare those two cuisines. That competition basically comes down to the skill of the chef. The word chef is French in origin. It means skilled cook. Thank you Rick for these videos! I’m learning a lot. Gold for foodies.

Enchiladas Suizas (Verde) are my go to comfort food. It was the first Mexican dish I had when I escaped from Buffalo and moved to So. Cal 50 years ago and I’ve probably had it 100 times since. Thanks for the recipe Chef. It evokes a lot of fond memories.

Always loved your broadcasts Chef but having now lived in Mexico full time for a couple of years I have really been using your recipes to expand my repertoire and my wife and friends have been the beneficiaries. You are a national treasure for both the USA and Mexico.

We always use flour tortillas instead of corn. When I was a kid I had asked my grandmother to teach me how to make enchiladas and so we started off early in the morning making more tortillas (she would never buy them from the store). It took us all day and her sauce with the dried chillies that she soaked.She would blend those chillies w garlic and seasonings then she would run it through a seive.The sauce was so good. That's why I wanted her to teach me how, I was only 11 yrs old. I was always in the kitchen w her growing up.

I made these tonight for dinner oh man. What can I say? They were FANTASTIC! I did the red tomato version with Tex mex seasoned chicken, with two kinds of cheeses: Oaxaca cheese and aged cotija. Amazing flavor explosion. Thank you so much Rick! Oh and just fyi folks, I followed the recipe and measurements exactly for the sauce and at first it was a little bit too thin for my liking but still delicious. But I ended up simmering the sauce for over 30 minutes and it made a huge difference. It was literally like a very delicious spicy Mexican version of a tomato soup! So that’s my tip if you guys have time. To give the super very rich body and extra delicious flavor. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. Worth it haha. Cheers

My once italian american kit is now neatly 100% mex over the years thanks to your cookbooks and now these videos.

My God, Rick, you have helped my mother's kitchen tremendously with that trick with the oil on the tortillas. In truth, it was like when my mother learned to "whiten" the lard for the tamales with a mixer instead of using her tired hands with ice cubes. Traditional, sometimes means painfull.

WHAT?!? I didn’t know I could use a mixer! 😂 Omg, that’s brilliant - I was diagnosed with arthritis in my 30s, so I’m always looking for ways to make cooking easier. We usually make tamales during the holidays for my family, and getting that fluffy masa for the tamales has always been hard on my hands. This is a game changer, for sure! I’ll need to check out that episode here on KZread.

So very happy when I see a new video from Rick. We really appreciate the content, Rick. Thank you for everything - can't wait for the next one.

Hello Rick and DEANN🙋 I saw this recipe and had to jump in😊 I started watching your cooking show series on PBS around 1998 and made many a recipe, all delicious I might add. Then in 1999 I went to Barnes & Noble and ordered your books MEXICAN KITCHEN & AUTHENTIC MEXICAN. I have been a real hit with my family for years for making GREAT SALSAS of many 😄👍🎉 One dish that my kids have loved for years is your ENCHILADAS SUIZAS just as you have made them in your video! I want to thank you for teaching me the many ways of the Mexican kitchen and why food is so different in all regions💚❤ Take care and God Bless you Rick🙏🌶🥑🌽🍋🍅🧀🌮 Y Viva Comida de Mexico 🇲🇽 💖🎉

Gracias Rick, for showing me how to make enchiladas. I have never been able to master these, although I have tried. I cannot wait to use your method and enjoy. Your videos are so informative and easy to follow. You are a great teacher, and I am very happy these videos are online. xoxo❤

Well, well, well, my wife tells me she wants enchiladas for dinner and Chef Bayless just happens to drop this on us!

I made the enchiladas and were delicious. After making many, many enchiladas, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME that the tortillas didn't disintegrate with the salsa.

The Bob Ross of mexican cuisine. Thanks Rick! I have been to Sanborn's many times. This brought back memories!

I have been trying to figure out how to make enchilada sauce that I have tasted along the way but have been unable to reproduce. You my friend, just helped me crack the code.

Good lord. The amount of knowledge this man just dropped in 21:04 is mind boggling.

I had dinner all planned out and then I watched this, so back to the store I go to pick up the ingredients to make this. Thanks Chef! ;]

Thank you Rick, I had the pleasure to meet you at the fancy food show in New York at the Jacob Javitz Center. I told you then you taught me how to cook authentic Mexican Food. I serve it at my Restaurant in Hartford CT along with Many other cuisine genres. My Friends all say that my Mexican food surpasses any restaurant they go to. You taught me technique and tradition with that you allowed me to extrapolate recipes of my own.

My Mexican fare has really come to life over the summer thanks to your channel.

One of my favorite chefs.... Top 5 for sure 🤤

This video inspired me to change the menu for tonight's dinner. I usually add some cream cheese and diced onions to chicken for my enchiladas but this is a very simple way to make them. My smoked Cornish Game hen which was left over from last night's dinner will now become the star of the show. I will try them your way this time. I was a chef in Mexico for a while and my enchiladas were very well received by the locals and especially by my Mexican wife's daughter.

Thank you Chef!

Thank you so much for your recipe of chicken enchiladas suizas. It is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. Now I can make it at home thank to you Rick! :)

Wow, those look delicious!

I've learned so much from you, Master Chef, that I feel confident in opening an authentic Mexican restaurant one day soon. You're so graceful and soft spoken that your instruction is masterful and enlightening. Thanks, from ALL OF US! ❤

I can not imagine having enchilada suiza with veggies. But I have it at our favorite Mexican Restaurant with shredded beef & Verde sauce. Yum! 😋

Se miran riquísimas esas enchiladas

I love your knotty pine cabinetry. Lovely. Warm. And beautiful. Flashback to the 1950’s /)

I was very sick in Puebla for several days and didn't eat much. The first thing was able to eat were the Enchiladas Suizas at the Sanborns restaurant. They have that comfort food hit I needed.

😋 Thanks for the recipe 🙏👍🇲🇽

Thank you, Rick. I made the tomatillo enchiladas couple weeks ago using Sanborn's recipe, and they were okay. But, I learned a few tips from you today. Separate the filled tortillas a bit, add a bit of the sauce to the chicken so the flavor is infused throughout, and even though I oiled my tortillas your way, I did not seal them in a zip lock, so they were not as flexible and a couple broke apart. Lesson learned!

I need some of those enchiladas 😋

Fabulous! As usual.😘

Something I learned this year: If you live in a part of the country that gets either crappy or no tomatillos in the store, green tomatoes are a good substitute. They have a similar tangy taste. I just tossed all my green tomatoes, as is, in gallon bags in the freezer when the growing season ended this year. Working perfectly. To thaw I run them under warm water and the skins slip right off.

Rick is a national treasure
