I make this dish for my husband once a year on his birthday (sometimes twice if he’s lucky - on Father’s Day) and he coined it “Better Than [Rick] Bayless” enchiladas. As a cook, there’s no greater compliment than that when talking about homemade Mexican food. Although time consuming, this dish isn’t hard, and it’s well worth the efforts. I usually make the salsa the day before (or a few days) and sometimes even the filling. So on the “big day,” all you have to do is compile the dish. Now pour yourself a margarita and enjoy one of our favorite meals.
