He’s an amazing chef, love how he gave similarities to Italian counterparts for people who aren’t really used to traditional Mexican ingredients!! I can’t give him enough praise!! His playing was stellar too!! Definitely seems like a genuinely great person to be around!!

    The process of grinding the masa on that rock is very very similar to something we do here in Bangladesh. It's also probably done in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and other countries in South East Asia. In Bangladesh we traditionally make pastes of garlic, onion, ginger, mashes, and even powdering some spices on "shil-pata." It also has these two stones, and we follow this exact technique to grind everything to a paste.

You have to made it in an specific processor machine. You can add just cheese (queso prensado) or combination of cheese and a salsa specific made for this enchilada then you have to put it in a comal. You can eat it with onions, fry beans, and avocado and you can also fry the enchilada.
      There is also enchiladas mineras, Rojas, enchiladas suizas, de mole, enchiladas rojas, enchiladas tamaulipecas, placeras, zacatecanas, enchiladas de nata, enchiladas de requeson, and I don’t remember other type of enchiladas but as I say you can do a complete season of taco chronicles about the different type of enchiladas

    Am from India, v still have the Aztec food processor at our homes, it's called, "patta varvanta". Use it to grind wet spice mixes, curries made with those r to die for as slow grinding gets all the aromatics and volcanic stone lends very earthy flavor.

    I wish we were able to buy fresh made tortilla in the US. All the store corn tortillas have a stale taste compared to the fresh ones. I used to eat the fresh corn tortillas rolled up tight around a sprinkle of rock salt as a snack when I was a kid. Sometimes they were still warm from being made. Yum!

    "Smells like home" - love it! Turned out beautiful. Had no idea enchiladas are not filled!
    I make tortillas occasionally with store bought masa, and even those are way better than the ones in the plastic bags. I like to use the liner from an empty breakfast cereal package to line the press. The plastic is much more sturdy than a zip bag, and releases better.
