Steps:
- For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
- For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
- Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Add the ancho chile, chipotle chile, cocoa, oregano, garlic powder and cumin and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture is thickened slightly and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, whisk until smooth and continue to cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat in a large skillet until shimmering. Quickly fry each tortilla in the oil, about 5 seconds per side; let drain on paper towels.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix the Chihuahua, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl. Ladle about a 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-14-inch glass baking dish. Stuff each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the cheese blend. Roll the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish in 2 identical rows of 6. Cover with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the pickled jalapeno and fresh cilantro.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the jalapeno slices to the dry skillet and cook until just starting to blacken. Set aside to cool.
- Mix together the sour cream, cumin, cayenne pepper, green onions, cooled jalapenos and 2 1/2 cups of the grated Cheddar in a bowl.
- Using tongs, char the tortillas one at a time over a gas flame for 5 to 10 seconds per side, then dunk each tortilla in the Enchilada Sauce. Lay a tortilla on a plate, then spoon a good 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture in the middle. Roll the tortilla, then place it seam-side down in a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and sour cream mixture.
- Cover the dish with the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese, then bake until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with extra green onions and serve immediately.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cubes and some salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine. Add the tomato sauce and 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook until reduced by one-third, about 20 minutes.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
- The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen.
MOLLY'S CHEESE ENCHILADAS
Another Great-grandma recipe my Mom taught me to prepare! The tortillas (always white flour Mom says) were prepared from scratch and the red enchilada sauce from scratch, too! Mom had no idea what type of dried chilies Great-Grandma used for her enchilada sauce, but since Molly was Spanish we can safely assume the chilies were a mild variety. I do want to prepare these someday using corn tortillas...

Steps:
- *NOTE: The cheese used was probably a white mild cheese from a local Mexican merchant in early California. We can guess that the type of cheese used was one of several (or similar): blanco, fresco, requeson, etc. Mild American cheese such as California Monterey Jack will work fine as will a medium sharp white cheddar. I always use a combination of different cheeses-Jack, fresco, etc. For the sauce I used a recipe from another site, with a few adjustments-most especially using dried chilies for chili powder, etc. Just remember when choosing dried chilies, to choose ones that are mild to medium in the hotness category.
- SAUCE: Dry roast the chilies in a clean, dry cast iron skillet over medium heat until fragrant but not burnt, about 8 minutes. Remove from pan and cool. Once cool enough to handle, stem, seed and remove membrane.
- Soak the chilies in 2 cups of water for 20 minutes. Important: **Drain but reserve soaking liquid**.
- Coarsely chop the chilies.
- Heat the oil in a large sautè pan over medium heat. Sautè the onion and garlic just until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the flour using a wire whisk and cook for 1 minute, then add the prepared chilies and cook for 1 more minute. Gradually whisk in the reserved chili soaking water through a sieve, stirring well to make sure you remove all the lumps, then stir in the tomatoes and cinnamon. Season with salt to taste.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Once the sauce has simmered 15 minutes, using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. If sauce is too thick, just add a little water or weak broth to thin. Season with salt to taste. If too bitter, add the sugar to neutralize any bitterness.
- ENCHILADAS: Begin by oiling a 13" x 9" ovenproof casserole dish. Spread a small amount of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish just enough to cover the entire area. (It may be necessary to use two baking dishes to fit all the enchiladas.).
- In a small skillet, lightly saute the onion and garlic in a little bit of oil just until softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl combine the cooled mashed eggs, cheese, olives, onions and garlic. Stir to mix.
- Take one tortilla, quickly and lightly dip on both sides in the warmed enchilada sauce. Do not allow to soak in the sauce or the tortillas will break apart.
- For each tortilla, place approximately 1/4 cup heaping of the cheese mixture. Roll up and place enchilada seam side down in the casserole dish.
- Continue with the remaining tortillas until all are stuffed.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a soup ladle, evenly spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, making sure the edges of the tortillas are covered with sauce so the enchiladas do not dry out during baking.
- Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of grated cheese evenly on top. Cover casserole dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes or only until cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven and let sit 10 minutes. Garnish with green onions.

'EASIEST EVER' CHICKEN MOLE ENCHILADAS
In Mexico, rich mole poblano is a celebratory dish, often made for special occasions, which takes about 4 days. The sauce in this recipe is a streamlined version that packs in deep and delicious flavor and is easy to make ahead and freeze, so even weekdays can be festive.

Steps:
- For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a baking sheet, sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool, then shred into small bite-sized pieces.
- For the mole: Reconstitute the dried chiles by soaking them in 1 1/2 cups hot water for 15 minutes. Then drain and set aside. Toast the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until dry, crisp and golden. Tear into pieces and set aside. In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, season with a little salt and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to a blender with the chiles, tortillas, peanut butter and oregano. Pour the chicken stock over and blend until very smooth. Then transfer the sauce to a medium saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the chocolate. Season the mole with salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup of mole for garnishing the enchiladas, the rest will be used for dipping the tortillas.
- To assemble the enchiladas: Fill a medium saute pan half way with oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, dip 1 tortilla at a time and fry just until soft and heated through, a few seconds. Lift out, let the excess oil drip off and then dip the fried tortilla directly into the warm mole (which should be right next to the pan for easy dipping) and transfer to a plate. Working quickly, put 1/3 cup of the shredded chicken in the center, being careful not to over fill. Roll the tortilla like a cigar to enclose the filling and place in a serving dish seam- side down. Continue to fill all of the tortillas and place them side-by- side. Pour the reserved mole over the top. (This recipe can be tightly wrapped and frozen for 3 weeks at this stage. To reheat: Preheat oven to 350degrees F, unwrap and bake until sauce is bubbly and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes.) To serve, drizzle with a little sour cream and sprinkle with queso.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the red enchilada sauce and sour cream until combined, creamy and smooth.
- Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in the middle of each tortilla. Add a pinch of diced onions and a pinch of sliced green onions. Roll the tortilla and place on the baking dish. Repeat until you have made 8 enchiladas.
- Add the remaining enchilada sauce to the top making sure to get the corners. I like to use a spoon to ensure the top is evenly coated with sauce. Top with 1 cup of cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted perfectly and bubbly. Garnish with more diced yellow onions and sliced green onions. Serve with guacamole, sour cream, chips and dip to make the perfect meal! Enjoy!

- Preheat oven to 350º. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil. Cook the onion and bell pepper over moderate heat until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper, paprika, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and remove from heat. Blend the mixture in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return the tomato to heat, and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts, cover and cook for 10 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and use two forks to shred it.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the corn, 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and warm them in a microwave oven until soft and pliable, about 15 to 20 seconds.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 4-by-eight-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the chicken mixture between the two tortillas. Roll up the tortillas and arrange in the baking dish. Top the enchiladas evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the tops of the enchiladas with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the enchiladas are hot and the cheese is melted.
