Scooch over Taco Tuesday

Taco Tuesday just got real.
5 layer red chili enchilada in a 12" skillet. 
The 12" skillet was crazy heavy and afterward it was surprisingly easy to cleanup.




And....it's all gone :smiley:

  • Wow. Looks amazing.

    The left side of that Egg table is just begging to be turned into a flap top. Even has the perfect edges. Just add a heat source.  :)

    Nice cook Blake!!   

    You know that PS is upside down and for gods sake why didn’t you wrap it in foil?   The police will be along later to scold you.  Lol.

    @Mattman3969 :relaxed: Inverted PS with my SS pieces elevates up in the dome a bit.  Once I was done I flipped the PS and shut her down for the night .The PS will be clean when I open it up tomorrow to cook...and if not it'll be clean on the next bread or pizza cook it'll be clean. I only wrap during L&S cooks and only one side.

    That looks like a gooey mess of deliciousness. What’s in the sauce?

  • @Mattman3969, @NPHuskerFL: I’ve always been reticent to invert my PS because the few times I have, I’ve noticed immediate repercussions for the stock gasket. I see that you’ve employed a Rutland though, which I assume would put those concerns to rest. Just picked up a Rutland (for both LBGE and MM) and will install in the spring.

    WOW!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I've been trying to think of something clever to say, but I got nothing... I'll settle for saying that is a great cook and it looks delicious. I would harass you like @caliking except your response was reasonable. :) 
    Nice job and thanks for posting the cook.

    @caliking Red Chile Sauce>>> heat up some oil. Add in ground red chile then make a slurry using water and cornstarch and slowly add that to thicken .  There are a multitude of ways to get to the same sort of end product with variations in heat of course.  We also make sauce using red chile pods and soaking or mortar & pestle grinding them out. But never ever canned sauce :tongue:

    I have only one recipe for red enchilada sauce. If there are better ones out there, I'm sure they are illegal. 

    http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/red-enchilada-sauce/

    Great as written. I added about 3 oz tomato paste - even better!

    @caliking Finally got home from work moments ago. My Wife has informed me of my brainfart! :tongue:
    Equal parts canola oil, chile, flour and water + SPG to taste. Some folks like cumin in there also WE DO NOT. 
    Start with oil and heat it up to a simmer (not too high of heat or you'll scorch it and have an icky tasting Chile Sauce).  Add in your Chile & water plus the SPG to your liking. Now slowly add in flour to achieve the thickness you desire. Basically it's a chili sauce roux.  Using chili pods you'd soak them first and then run through a food processor.
    Again NO CANNED SAUCE.

    @Jupiter Jim & @td66snrf Thanks!
    Cold CI skillet.  12" is ideal...twss :smirk:
    Sauce, burrito sized flour tortilla, beans, ground meat, sauce, blended shredded cheese and repeat the layers. Healthy amount of shredded cheese on top for the finish.  Bake at 350-375.

    Thanks for the recipe, Blake. 

    Do you use dried chiles to make the sauce? What’s chili powder? To me, chili powder= cayenne.

    No on the cayenne. We buy 10# bags of Chile from NM and occasionally MFMIL (my favorite mother-in-law) will ship us some from CO. 
    We've ordered from Diaz Farms several times.  Great family owned farm with very personable service.  We go through a LOT so I'd guess about 20#-30# per year. Red. For green chile or when we order from Hatch, NM those are fresh roasted.  We may have one or two bags dried green chile.
