Bingo.
Coming from a mexican household this is the only way I have ever seen enchiladas made.
Both my mom and grandmother make enchiladas this way.
Topped with some sauce, sprinkle some cheese and add some sour cream and you're good to go.

NM green chile is awesome. Had it for the first time in Tucumcari or some place like that at the age of 9 or something, about melted my brain it was so spicy, but good. It's one of those foods good enough to spur a cross-country road trip for the sole purpose of eating, to me.

yup. i still go back a couple times a year to visit family and about 80% of my meals are green chile cheese enchiladas, flat, with an over-easy egg on top. rather eat that than foie gras.

Whole meal was a bit of a mad dash since I hadn't been able to make anything or do any prep work the night before...turned out well though.

Guests liked the enchiladas although I think they came out too dry (I should have covered them and removed the foil at the end to brown the cheese).
