The process of grinding the masa on that rock is very very similar to something we do here in Bangladesh. It's also probably done in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and other countries in South East Asia. In Bangladesh we traditionally make pastes of garlic, onion, ginger, mashes, and even powdering some spices on "shil-pata." It also has these two stones, and we follow this exact technique to grind everything to a paste.

You can add just cheese (queso prensado) or combination of cheese and a salsa specific made for this enchilada then you have to put it in a comal. You can eat it with onions, fry beans, and avocado and you can also fry the enchilada. There is also enchiladas mineras, Rojas, enchiladas suizas, de mole, enchiladas rojas, enchiladas tamaulipecas, placeras, zacatecanas, enchiladas de nata, enchiladas de requeson, and I don’t remember other type of enchiladas but as I say you can do a complete season of taco chronicles about the different type of enchiladas

I love Chef Saúl's personality. He keeps us entertained while teaching us. "You can find queso fresco in any Mexican store. If you don't find it, it isn't a Mexican store." I know it isn't like this everywhere, but here in Los Angeles, you can find queso fresco in any supermarket.

Real Mexican food is just amazing. Honestly my favourite type of food.

Went to Mexico last year for the first time, and it has given me an even greater appreciation for Mexican culture. Almost all people I met with were so kind and welcoming.

And when he wished his mom was there I got teary-eyed. I miss my mom. She's far away too.
