The Suburban Mom Style Enchiladas everyone should try

- I love all enchiladas and in my view, there are three distinct categories of them: Traditional Mexican, Tex Mex, and what I'll call Suburban Mom. All three are filled and sauced tortillas, but each one is a unique experience. Today is all about the one that I think makes the best leftovers - Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas.

Ahh Grandma Ethan's recipe
His Mexican-Slovak grandma. 😆😆
I think he wouldn’t mind..... just Grandma! Lol 😆
Make this a series ❤
“Let me just take a couple bites” *violently downs the rest of the plate*
This is one of those dishes that I absolutely attack. I'm sad to report that I already ate all the leftovers too.
well he did down one enchilada in 2 bites...
@@EthanChlebowski the second you said 2 days I thought there's no God damn way LMAO
That belly tap after the last bite did it for me 😂 that’s how you know it was good lmao
was going to make the same comment. man I'm hungry now
"Authenticity is a farce, nothing has to be real for it to be good" - Internet Shaquille.
ahh I see you are a man of culture
I read that in his voice
real good*
Which video of his is this from?
@@Basomic his french toast video
Of all the food youtubers, you are the best at making videos that give me info I can actually use. I've tried way more of your recipes than any other food youtuber (those pierogis are gonna be a Christmas classic for me now). Just keep doing what you are doing! You're refreshing in your personality, not trying to do lame forced jokes or being overly extra or theatrical. You're fun and seem like an actually down to earth guy who just wants to help other folks make good food.
You've kind of summarized my goal with these videos, glad to hear they are hitting the right notes. Thank you!
@@EthanChlebowski You’re playing an orchestra bro! I think you and Adam (beef aside) have been an integral part of the home cook revolution. Basics with babish, Joshua, chef John, all good in their own right but you and Adam seem to stand alone. Every time you drop a new video I cook the same dish, and I’ve never once gotten overwhelmed like I have with some other YT cooking channels. Props to you!
@@Doppioristretto Who is Adam?
@@matthewstrohmaier1647 Adam Ragusea
In Mexico 🇲🇽 we usually call this, Swiss enchilada (enchilada Suiza) it's more common in corn flour but this ones seems to come out nicely 👌👌
Nothing beats mamás receta but these were so good when I had some like those
Corn tortillas are so much better.
We all have soulmates, Ethan has pickled onions.
My soulmate is my right hand
@@Solbashio well
Me too...
Tbh pickled onions basically go well on like 80% of savory foods
@@TheHilltopperNation Pretty sure he put it on a Peanut Butter sandwich. Think it's 100% for him.
Pickled onion with a coupla finely sliced habaneros. Eat 'em with your fingers... That should cure that "right hand thing". 😉
Suburban Mom recipes: Everyone dunks on them, but everyone secretly loves them.
no secret :)
I'm commenting as a chef here. His bites and reactions are what makes his videos relatable and his teqnique is on point. His attitude is what keeps me coming back 🔙
Facts!!
Love your point about authenticity! A lot of hesitation from making dishes comes from critics shaming recipes for not being authentic enough
So true! Authenticity would require having all day to cook, and we don’t live like that at my home 💁🏻
Completely true. In fact, when CZcamsr "My Name is Andong" made a "German ramen" with noodles in the color of the German flag and white asparagus, some Japanese were actually quite impressed with that unusually original idea.
The problem lies only when you claim it's authentic when it's not...... Nobody's is stopping you from enjoying your Midwest mom tex-mex enchiladas..... As long as your not lying to yourself self or to others..... Thats the problem with Mexican restaurants in the US...... They claim they are authentic when they are not..... And the customers are gonna get a wrong sense/understanding of the culinary culture....
Non-photogenic food is some of the best there is. You don’t need frills for stuff to taste bueno 😛
I finally made pickled onions. I have put them on nearly everything I’ve eaten in the past week. I need more now.
Same here, pizza pasta sandos eeeverything. I feel like its good for my gut too, like my stomach has a much easier time with heavy meals
@@imburning99 yeah your microbiome(gut bacteria) loves fermented food and more studies have shown a link between a healthy gut and overall wellness.
Same, people make fun of Ethan but haven’t tried them. They’re addictive
Grilled cheese + pickled onions is one of my personal faves
its a drug, welcome to the club
As a suburban mom, I approve this recipe. I have been making these for years, although not with the diligence and "from scratch" finesse that Ethan shows. I will have to try his method next time.
Ethan: "These are to die for, you have to make these"
Me, having like 6% of Ethan's patience and cooking skill: "Oh yeah totally I will"
Proper home cooking going on here!
I've always called this style "enchiladas suizas". I grew up eating them as well. Ours were usually made with a cream-style sauce rather than a salsa verde.
Okay, enchiladas for dinner tonight!
Do it!
Ingredient report:
Pickled onions were seen at 0:14, 0:41 - 0:43, 0:46 - 1:04, 7:01 - 7:32 and 7:40 - 7:56.
Mayo was seen at 2:05 - 2:12.
This has been your ingredient report.
where are you Ethan's Pantry Report
I have never made or even had enchiladas before. Tonight I decided to give the suburban mom version a try, since it seems very accessible. In true suburban mom style I only had red peppers, leftover poached chicken and the halal cart white sauce replaced sour cream. Of course I couldn't get the right cheese and I could have used twice as much cilantro.
But dear lord was it ever delicious. I can see why you would fight over leftovers. This one is definitely going into the weeknight repertoire. Thanks for the great content.
These type of enchiladas are Midwest Excellence
This was my favorite meal as a kid. Biggest differences between yours and my mom's: mom just used taco seasoning for the chicken, just like she did for her fajitas. Yours is probably better objectively, but her chicken was just fine with the pre-mix. Also her sauce was not a chile verde sauce, it was more of a cream sauce with diced (and pickled?) jalapenos mixed in, and it was fantastic. Cheese inside and on top was cheddar, also fantastic.
Damn, I just realized I'm having a birthday dinner with my parents tonight; I should have asked my mom to make these again!
My mom is a "Suburban Mom" and made enchiladas like this probably once a month for us. To this day one of my favorite dinners
I'd like to point out that there are several recipes in Mexico as well, it depends on the state and the family traditions
Very true!
True. In fact, Mexican cuisine has a UNESCO cultural heritage designation (not only for its variety, but the fact many Mexican dishes have a very long cultural history).
Totalmente cierto, la cuestión es que en lo personal, no considero verdaderas enchiladas a las recetas preparadas con tortillas de harina, esas parecen un burrito con salsa...
@@Sacto1654 Quite a few foods are in the "intangible cultural heritage" list, including North African couscous, Maltese flat sourdough, Singapore's hawker stalls, Neapolitan pizza, Arabic flatbread and coffee, kimchi, all of French and Mediterranean cuisine, etc. It would be an excellent list to form an around the world travel plan from.
As a mom, I knew exactly what type of enchiladas these would be from the title. I feel recognized!
While you're on your enchilada kick, I recommend looking into New Mexico-style stacked enchiladas (enchiladas montadas). They come together really fast, taste great, and are perfect for feeding lots of people really quickly.
Dude, this channel is great, definitely underrated content, your vids are super characteristic and I think you got the touch man. By the way, as a mexican, I appreciate you like so much our cuisine, the dishes you make look absolutely fucking delicious, keep going dude!!
Oh yes, over half a million subscribers is very underrated.
@@Vlad-ik4ne well, if you compare him to Pro Home Cooks, with 2.5 million subs, or to Joshua Weissman with 4.3 million having the same quality content and charisma, yes, I’d definitely say it’s underrated content, it’s simple maths. But now that you’ve had your five minutes of being a hater, are you feeling more satisfied with yourself? You need anything else?
Suburban mom enchiladas, HAHAHAH! I love it & totally have made this version on my channel. I can be described as a "Suburban mom" very fitting. Your version looks AMAZING!!
Thank you so much for including a written recipe in the links. That makes it much easier for me to make this ASAP (which I will be doing - tomorrow!). Love your content!!
My favorite dish from my local Mexican restaurant.
I have made these twice already and they are just delicious! I am pretty picky when it comes to Mexican style food and these are our new favorite. I did make a few small changes. I used boneless thighs and I grilled them on the BBQ. I also swapped out the Monterey Jack for more authentic Oaxaca as well as a little Cotija. One thing that I like about this recipe is that there are no tomatillo's in the green sauce (not a big fan of them). Great leftovers as well.
I love watching your videos. seeing you clean a plate is so satisfying. I will def make this
Made this. It was delicious. Thank you.
I love Ethan's enthusiasm, when tasting his recipes. I can taste the food he's making.
I'm definitely going to make these enchilada!!
Hey, I made these tonight. I've never had a "green" enchiladas that I have liked. However I love so much of the Mexican influenced food you make I wanted to try it.
These are amazing. No CZcams chef puts out the content or recipes that come close to pleasing my palet the way you do. Maybe Kenji alt-lopez does too...
Still I want to thank you for expanding my knowledge and appreciation for this type of food, where prior I thought tex-mex fast food was the flavors of Mexico.
Love your stuff, keep it up. Great work.
Made my own version of this today & it’s honestly one of the tastiest things I’ve eaten in a very long time!
I just made some and they were delicious! Thanks.
This looks so good! Cant wait to try this!
You put SO much effort into your vids, you deserve WAY more views/love from the CZcams algorithm
cant stop binging your content! great stuff!
I made this recipe recently, and can confirm that it’s f__king awesome!
Look amazing! Grew up in South Texas I’m all about enchiladas. I’ll give this recipe a go for sure! Thanks keep the videos coming man!
This has quickly become one of my favourite food channels on CZcams. The way you unapologetically scoff down the amazing food you make is a clear sign it's goddamn delicious!
Looks so yummy. I am definitely going to try it
We have made these so many times and did a bit of hacking the recipe. Goodness gracious these are amazing!!!!
I don't make enchiladas in so much time! I have to make them! You reminded me how good they are!
Made this today. Chicken was superb. Thank you!!! I recommend cooking the verde sauce as the raw onion makes it a little sharper than it should be. Heating it might mellow it out.
Looks fantastic. Great left over idea!
My husband’s favorite type of enchiladas. I’ve never liked the red canned enchilada sauce. Don’t know how to make it. We get a very good green salsa from our grocery store. Green salsa really goes good with pork and chicken. It’s great on a taco.
This looks amazing 😍
Ethan Ethan! I love your channel and you open my eyes to things I have never thought of but those anemic enchiladas can be cured in 1 min and 30 secs by placing the dish under the broiler to get some color and flavor. Hey, I'm just paying it forward.
I like this recipe. Seriously my mom would make suburban mom versions of many things. Her burritos were similar to this and to DIE FOR. So damn bomb.
I definitely have a love for both authentic and wanna-be Mexican food 😂
Same with my mom too but fajitas as well. She'd make them into burritos hahaha
Some of the best burritos I've had after visiting and working in Mexico many times as well as travelling throughout the south and southwest US have always been from some random white lady who sets up a stand, small store, or food truck making burritos by the beach. Totally inauthentic in all the best ways possible.
Thanks for the macros man nice addition to the video and is appreciated!
Expected that after seeing your comment on Joshuas video! Don't tell anyone but I like your video better! :D
Nice to not have any creepy baby talk going on from the host.
@@TheBeefTrain Agreed comrade!
@@TheBeefTrain Watched one of Joshua's videos from about two years ago and it wasn't nearly as bad. The recent ones are.. tough to watch. Which is unfortunate, because I think he has a lot of knowledge to share.
My mom made these all the time growing up, and me and my siblings definitely fight over the leftovers haha. I thought we were the only ones that are them and were obsessed with them, cause I've never met anyone else that knew what i was talking about hahaha. This is awesome!
Awesome just in time for breakfast!
Gonna work this into my rotation. Thanks man!
Ethan could almost be a Disney character and I would believe it, Love the recepies
This sums the guy up love his vibe
Mm, my mouth is watering! I will add this to recipes to try. This is one recipe I wished I could select to turn on smell-o-vision.
came back to this video for the garlic cumin lime chicken thighs. making some grilled chicken tacos tomorrow. then white chicken chili on the next night. they really do make the best leftovers.
Ok, those sound amazing.
i have to admit that your cooking style is on point every single time. probably you dont hear that for the first time but i need to appreciate this mate. keep up the good work.
btw yesterday i tried your buffalo sauce recipe and easily one of my favs right now. love from Turkey
It is already looking so delicious and but the mom edition enchiladas must be very yummy and tasty
The best cooking videos only on this channel
New subscriber here! Love your tips/recipes. Thank you for teaching and sharing with us.
We all watched Joss Weissman enchiladas thinking "that's the stuff" but now we're going to make those cause that's also the stuff, except it's half the work XD
And also made by the infinitely more handsome and likeable down-to-earth guy.
I made something just like these the other day, but with rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and fresh homemade corn tortillas (still covered in cheese and baked suburban-mom style). I like that recipe you had for the chicken thighs though so I am going to have to try it out!
that sauce is made with Tomatillos, a very acidic kind of tomato, just one serrano chilli, garlic and onion, still looks really delicious, kudos on your channel
I made these and they were great! The only thing I did differently is I added a spoonful of refried beans along with the sour cream, inside and out.
Suburban Mom cooking ought to become your second channel.
Looks like heaven, and I have a jar of pickled red onions just waiting for them...
I made these for my moms and we all loved them, the chicken is indeed "banging"
Growing up we called these wet burritos. One of my favorite meals as a kid
Mom enchiladas are the best.
I made these for dinner tonight. The fam enjoyed them a bit more than I did. I think I would have preferred chicken breast over thigh, or maybe a mix. They really were suburban-ass enchiladas. The garlic cumin lime chicken was pretty damn solid on its own, and the roasted peppers will start to live next to my pickled onions. Thanks for the video bro
Thanks so much for increasing the use of Graphics and breakdowns in your recent content. It really goes a long way to helping those of us with different learning methods get more out of the videos. Keep up the great work!
Good one Ethan!
You and those pickled onions (LOL) I hate them, but watching you eat them on almost everything is strangely inspiring. Not enough to eat them, but I enjoy watching you enjoy
Gur- rate! So good. Keep it up’!
I made the these the other day lol. My mom made them all the time growing up.
Que viva Ethan!!
This is what I call pure home cooking.
As Chef Ranveer Brar says, there is no authentic recipes. Everything is passed down, traveled across worlds, accepted, modified to reach at this point of time in history.
Loved your take on this recipe
Except taco bell, that the only exception.
Mouthful after mouthful. Full speed I can almost trick myself he’s eating one bite like Ben Deen. Enchiladas look delicious bro
I made enchiladas last night, I wish I had this recipe.
I love how now it is not just about "Mexican Food" but it is instead "North America Food".
"... and that's why I always ask for extra glass shards in my enchiladas."
Gonna need a video on the tex-mex variety, STAT!
Adam Ragusa's enchiladas are always my go to. I need to find a real good Tex Mex recipe, considering I live in Texas lol, but I just haven't been able to find one better than his. Definitely trying this recipe next time the urge arises though.
We've been making a casserole style enchilada that we call "Enchiladasagna". Similar concept (though we will be adding this green sauce next time) except the tortillas are not rolled with the filling. Instead, the tortillas are laid flat, fillings on top, and layered just like a lasagna. It's a little less work/mess and comes out really great. Leftovers are awesome because you can just cut off what you want to eat.
0:40 Time-to-pickled-onion, is that a new record?
Se miran ricas!
Mushy Fajitas. Nice ...
Looks amazing! Side note. I usually think watching people eat is gross. I hate Mukbang’s but when you do a taste test I’m like yummm I want some! 🤣
Used your mayo marinate base method for tandoori chicken, made a very big difference to the char and texture
Good coincidence I was gonna try enchiladas tonight for the first time
I thought my mom was the only “suburban mom” who made these!
Those look absolutely bussin’
The things that wood block sees on a regular basis qualify it for Hero status. Sizzling chicken? No problem! You should do a cutting board care short 😀
Btw - not all quesadillas contain cheese from what I heard
If you want the sauce to have a more developed flavor you can roast the onion alongside the peppers. That way you get the rich and roasted flavor without adding an extra time-consuming step of cooking the sauce
YES, that's what i thought too !
Made this with just poblano peppers, subbed in some tomatillos instead of water, hanger steak, and smoked gouda. Definitely a crowd pleaser. :)
I was about to comment something like “hey these are just like the enchiladas my mom makes” until I remembered that’s the point of the video.
