My mothe-in-law has always made these , she is from NM. And instead of the Red Enchilada Sauce she would make it with Red New Mexico Chili Pods. Always delicious! We actually just made some today using her recipe!

I have been making these for 40 years and is one of my family’s favor dish. I’ve taught my 16 year old grandson how to make them and he makes them 1 to 2 times a week.
