For those of us who were lucky enough to have those abuelas that lived to cook and then overcook whenever you visited, chances are you’ve already have had the best enchiladas of your life. I know that I have and because of it, everything from there on out has always rated a second place in mi estómago y mi corazón.
Thankfully enough, Oklahoma City is loaded with great Tex-Mex joints that are almost as good as any borderland kitchen in the Rio Grande Valley, making it easy to take somewhat of a culinary trip back home without leaving the city. Enchiladas have always been my own private comfort food, a handmade meal where you slow down and take your time, using a fork to cut precise squares that are lovingly placed on the tongue as though it were a form of Holy Communion con carne. Con queso.
