Illustrated with sumptuous photography, the book showcases more than sixty traditional and contemporary recipes for enchiladas, as well as recipes for the salsas, salads, and sides that accompany them.

With this book, you'll learn to make corn tortillas from scratch, including colorful flavor-infused versions; fire roast fresh chiles and prepare dried chiles for enchilada sauces and moles; dry roast tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chiles using a traditional comal (griddle); make your own homemade queso fresco, crema Mexicana, and chorizo; prepare tender pot beans and savory refried beans
Cook perfect Mexican rice--six ways; prepare chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and vegetables for fillings.

Enchiladas: Aztec to Tex-Mex is also packed with information about many other key ingredients of Mexican cuisine, including avocados, tomatoes, tomatillos, and nopales (cactus). A section on Mexican cheeses describes their flavors, textures, melting properties, and possible substitutes. Fresh and dried chiles used in enchilada cookery are presented, along with a description of their flavor profiles, heat levels, and specific uses. Experience the history of Mexico through its most delicious ambassador, the enchilada!

Title: The Ultimate Tex Mex Cookbook
Review: I read an extensive article in the local paper about a landmark Mexican restaurant run by one of the authors of this cookbook. One of their many specialties was enchiladas. This cookbook in addition to presenting great recipes has a thoroughly researched account of the origin and history of enchiladas. The public is fortunate that Mr Lawton decided to share his extensive knowledge in this wonderful cookbook. The instructions are simple and easy to read and he includes sidebars sharing his own tips and tricks. I will probably never make all of the recipes in the cookbook but then again I probably will never need to buy another Tex-Mex cookbook.

Review: This is a beautiful book that is well written and has spectacular recipes. I love how the author goes through ingredients and the basics (how to make roasted chiles, tortillas, etc.) before jumping into diverse, easy to follow enchilada recipes. If you are a lover of traditional mexican/New Mexico food, you must add this to your cookbook collection.
