So this would probably have more energy to it if I had written it Monday night when I actually made the enchiladas and we ate them. But here I am 2 days later finally getting to it. Although we did eat them for a second time last night. So they must have been good! These were much easier to make then I thought they would be, AND tasted a whole lot better then they sounded. A sauerkraut sorta thing (curtido) on a tortilla? UGH! But you hardly taste the curtido..it just enhances the other flavors. These are a great do ahead meal as most of it can be done ahead of time. The only thing you need to wait and do right before eating is frying the tortillas. I made the tomato sauce, the beef, and if I had made the curtido from scratch, that too. But we had a jar of curtido in the cupboard, so I decided to use that and see what it was like before I attempt my own. So you take a fried corn tortilla top it with the following in this order: tortilla, tomato sauce, curtido, ground beef, tomato sauce, hard dry cheese, hard boiled egg, cilantro. That’s it! They are really tasty although for gringos like me, quite messy to eat. It must be a cultural thing because Carlos had no problem eating his. I even needed a fork to get all the goodies that had fallen on the plate. Carlos must have liked them too, because we ate them again last night. Although I put him in a slight bad mood because I made him take a picture of his. I tried but the flash was too bright…..I am just not good with a camera. But he finally got the picture that you see and I thank him for that! The most amusing part of this was that I had to look up how to properly hard boil an egg. And it worked! Next time I will make the curtido from scratch! This is a definite have again recipe! Tasty, fairly easy and do ahead! Good for entertaining and wowing guest for dinner. You could serve one per person as an appetizer or 2 per person with a salad for an entree.
