J’s been busting my butt about going to Macayo’s Mexican restaurant for their enchiladas. She usually gets one Baja style (green) and one regular cheese. I must admit, enchiladas have always been one of my favorite Mexican dinners so I can totally relate. Enchiladas are always good in my book, even when their bad. Some of my favorite are from a fast food joint in Topeka, KS called Taco Tico, it’s all about their sauce baby. My mom also makes a killer enchilada. She makes it flat style and uses old el paso enchilada sauce from the can and it’s some of my favorite store bought. Not sure if it’s just because it reminds me of simpler times or if it’s just good. For moms you just layer everything, stacking it up as high as you want, tortilla, meat, sauce, cheese, tortilla meat, lettuce and so on. The ones pictured above are more like the ones you get in a restaurant (like Macayo’s). I’d rate these as better than average, J expressed her appreciation for them more than once so that’s a good sign. I think she even muttered “goodbye Macao’s”.
