As you can see, this is just lonely me making the enchiladas. If you girls can please photoshop me into all your enchilada photos from Florida please. (judy, notice the cute apron! don't mind the semi-murf in my fat ass)
I pretty much followed the recipe from the Pioneer Woman. I absolutely love her step by step photos. It really clarifes ALOT for me since I am such a doo-doo head in the kitchen. I did notice, however, that the summarized written directions are slightly different from her photo directions. I threw in the cilantro at the beginning of the sauce instead of at the end. Not sure if that makes a difference though. Anyhow, like I said, I'm a doo-doo head in the kitchen, so PW didn't say to stir the sauce occassionally while it simmered or after it simmered. So I didn't. While I poured the sauce over all the tortillas (last step), I realized that the flour was still stuck to the bottom of the pot. It didn't really get stirred into the sauce. Ooops.
But the enchiladas still turned out really good. I actually made 20 enchiladas... I still had some of the meat (I used turkey) leftover that I just stuffed the meat into the side of the pan and in open spaces and stuck it into the oven like that. Two pans of enchiladas. Can I saw Yum Awesome? Or is that trademarked???
Although very good, it took about two hours from start to end. I'm not sure the enchiladas are worth the clean-up though. There was seriously sauce everywhere-on the stovetop, in the sink, on the counter. But I'm very happy with the result, being my first time ever to make enchiladas. More simple than I thought it would be. Good choice!
On a gross note, I had a band-aid on my finger from a paper cut. I'm pretty sure the band-aid went into the trash before I started cooking, but can't be sure. I hope it's not lost in the enchiladas while I was wrapping them. That would be gross.
