"A good plate of beef enchiladas should be exceptional, with supple but strong corn tortillas that can hold their shape and tender, well-seasoned beef inside, all smothered in a tangy, flavorful sauce sprinkled with salty, creamy cheese. Although enchiladas may be considered a relatively simple dish with few ingredients, if just one of those minimal ingredients isn't up to snuff, it can throw the entire dish off."
"What Jinich believes is of the utmost importance is that all the individual components in enchiladas need to be able to stand on their own in terms of quality and flavor. The tortillas should be fresh and need to be heated to become pliable before using. The beef should be well-seasoned, and the sauce should be packed with flavor and spiced to your heat preferences."
Exceptional beef enchiladas combine supple but strong corn tortillas, tender seasoned beef, a tangy flavorful sauce, and salty creamy cheese. Each ingredient must be fresh and high quality because a single subpar component can ruin the dish. Tortillas should be heated to become pliable before assembling. Beef filling should be well seasoned or adjusted if using leftovers. Enchilada sauce should be packed with flavor and spiced to taste. Shortcuts such as using leftover shredded or stewed beef are acceptable if the filling is tasted and corrected beforehand.
