Hey Ben, really enjoy reading authentic Mexican recipes, it’s my favorite cuisine. I have a really stupid question to ask: How do Mexican people use tortillas to eat, other than in tacos, tostados, etc. Whenever the waiter brings a batch to the table I am stymied. It is too difficult to eat the entire meal as a taco, but by themselves they are fairly bland. Someone told me to break off pieces and use these to enfold food morsels, this would mean using a very large amount of tortillas for a meal. Pardon me for my stupidity.

Ben,
I made this dish for my in-laws last Sunday – What a hit! They all loved it and have requested your recipe. This was so easy and so good; I used the whole can of chipotle adabado peppers as my family likes it hot. I did use a few of the shortcuts at the end including the prepared enchilada sauce and corn taco shells broke in half. I made it in a bigger casserole than suggested so I ended up using 3 or 4 chicken breasts but otherwise stayed true to the recipe and it was FABULOUS! I know this will be an often requested dish in the future. Thank you for sharing your family’s recipe!

Burritos, chimichangas, hard shell tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, chalupas and so many others were either new to me or completely different than their original … [...]

I know it is hard to find real Mexican food. I hope I can share a little of what I learn in my parents’ restaurant.

I will be posting about the Foodie Blogroll soon, along with a pumpkin mole I made for the contest

Thanks for the visit

Your show was so much fun. You should do it again soon. If I weren’t as timid I would put one on. LOL
And yeah, this recipe is really good. One of my all time favorites!

Cheers!

LOL. Sometimes we assume things we shouldn’t, but finding out about other people’s eating habits is always exciting.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I already commented on your last entry. I hope to see you around again

This is one of my favorite recipes ever. I have made some modifications to my mom’s recipe, though. For example, she didn’t bake it and she never used commercial tortilla chips. I heard that it can be made with dogfish and beans, also. I might try that in the future.
Cheers!

Thanks. I think there is so much I can learn from you, too. Just learning about the paneer is a good start.

Thanks for the visit
