Tex-Mex Cheese Enchiladas With Red Chili Gravy Recipe

Recipe By Serious Eats

Meet the ultimate, upgraded tex-mex enchiladas: tortillas, rolled up around a cheddar-based filling and completely enveloped by a rich red chili sauce, then topped with even more melted cheese. The sauce is rustic and aromatic, with a haunting cumin aroma and a heat from the chilies that doesn't attack so much as slowly tickle the back of your tongue. We've taken a few liberties, but they're worth it.
