Hey Rick just letting you know that I think you're a darling and seeing you on TH-cam is an inspiration to me as a queer Latino from Texas. I also wanted to mention that I will also be visiting my family for the first time in years soon and will be making enchiladas as well just like you and your dad are. This episode was really special to me because my dad was also a huge influence in my food life, as well as my mom. Thank you so much.
My family makes enchiladas like that! I never considered calling it a casserole style, but that's exactly what it is. Every Christmas Eve, we make an assembly line and fill the largest sheet pan edge to edge. The leftover sauce is considered liquid gold and eaten with eggs and leftover rice.
Omgsh this is my first time watching your channel and I’m in love 🥰 and will looking forward to all your recipes. I’m a true Texan born and raised and I love homemade enchiladas and beans, I must make yours because it all looks absolutely delicioso 😋 your dad seems sooo incredibly sweet 🥰 and can’t wait to make his beans. Thank y’all for sharing your recipes 💕
Hey Rick, just want to say that I have become a big fan of your cooking with this new series. You always seemed a bit disconnected at BA but now I feel like I get you and your taste and it is a pleasure. All the best!
oh my glob. I am a native Texan living in Washington and I am absolutely drooling as this is one thing I miss most about Texas. thank you. I am so trying these recipes. and your dad is adorable.
Rick is an amazing cook and I love watching these videos. Food52 you have some real talent here!! Rick - you inspire me and keep up the fantastic work!
I’m in Australia and I miss good Mexican and Tex-Mex food. Your food has shown me that I can make it at home. Online supplies the ingredients, you supply the recipes, and I supply the love for my family. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,
Wow freezer refried beans- gotta try this & I forget about toasting flour- such a good tip. You always do ALL the things to boost flavor. Thanks for including your Dad visit & his beans! Wish I could park my feet under your table.🤟
I do this all the time!! I recommend freezing the refried beans with some extra bean liquid. I add a ladle or two (depending on how much I'm freezing) of the bean liquid on top of the beans in the container. I don't mix the two - just put in the freezer. I find the extra liquid helps the beans stay hydrated and prevents them from getting too thick when you reheat them. 10/10
Native Texan here... This dish looks so amaze balls!!!! I make cheese enchiladas but not with beef gravy. I will be making this recipe next time I make enchiladas. Thank you, Rick! You are the best!!!!
I’m a Texas girl, and was living outside Salado, north of Austin until just a few weeks ago. We’re in the process of moving to upstate New York!! Your recipes are awesome, and once the dust settles and I am unpacked, I’m definitely making these beans and enchiladas!!! Loved you talking about your dad. That’s so special.
Love this show and Rick with his gorgeous nails, shirts and aprons. Was that bag of shirts from Zarn's? I'm in lust for all of them! Your food is fantastic, the flavors are definitely front and center and not difficult to make - a plus. Thanks for doing this show, was missing you on BA!
as a kid growing up in LA, cheese enchiladas were my absolute favorite, standard thing to order whenever we went out for mexican food (usually a friday night treat). this is taking me back... SO much cheesy goodness! but then amped up even more with that amazing looking chili sauce! i'm literally drooling watching and now commenting about it. thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe from your family with us. and seeing your dad cooking - what a sweetheart! - was the cherry on top.
How funny, I was just at El Patio last Saturday reminiscing with an old friend. I ordered these enchiladas and they were great-can’t wait to try making them myself back in New York.
I am making enchiladas tonight and was looking for inspiration. Thank you for all your work and videos. The highlight, beyond the enchiladas was the fact that your pop was wearing a University of MN Gopher t shirt. Never have I been so proud to call it my alma mater.
I am so happy to see this recipe. Serious chefs never touch TexMex cause it isn’t “authentic”. I get it. But it’s authentic to my childhood and holds a special place for me. So really excited to learn real TexMex from someone who knows it well. Thanks so much for sharing Rick.
I remember your Dad from when he came to visit the test kitchen. He's a legend. His beans are legendary! The first Mexican food I ever ate was Tex-Mex and I've loved it ever since. I'm so glad that you're cooking these recipes. Delicious. I look forward to the shirts. Thanks, Rick.
I absolutely love cheese enchiladas. They are one of my all time favorite foods. They're the first thing I order any time I try a new Mexican restaurant. Unfortunately most restaurants really half-ass their cheese enchiladas so I'm usually disappointed. How I really judge Mexican restaurants though is by their beans and their rice. Really good beans on a freshly made tortilla with a little cheese is one of the world's most perfect foods. That's all to say thanks for the recipes. I really look forward to trying them out.
Hey Rick , I had some shredded cooked chicken in my freezer. I used the Tex-Mex recipe and used the chicken . My dad loved them and had seconds which he normally doesn't. It was thumbs up!
Rick, YOU ARE THE MAN! I’m making these for Fathers Day! Tribute to your Father(and you). Love your vids here and on BonApp. Btw Food52, Rick is the reason I subscribed.
I think we'll be able to recreate this recipe. I love the show, Rick. You show us great recipes, but also the way you describe the food, and how is your life in Mazatlan. Watching is very comforting 🤗
First you hit us with the return of the gorgeous nails, then your awesome dad (tell dad to stay safe - Texas is stuck in a "heat dome" and the power grid isn't going to be able to handle the demand {jfc Texas has been so screwed power grid/weather-wise this year} 😔) and then OMFG WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR SHIRTS??? Totally amazeballs! Extra hugs to dad! He raised a great man! But where has Misael gone?
I've made these 4 times and am going in for a fifth. They are so tasty! We made the beans (started them in the pressure cooker) and pico as well. Thanks for sharing these recipes!
Looks so good! I believe I've seen you cooking with your dad on that "other" channel. He looks so sweet. I'm glad you finally made it home to visit. Love the shirts as well 😍
It makes me so happy when I come home from work and see a Sweet Heat video in my feed, because I KNOW it's going to be something lovely and delicious from Rick. These enchiladas look so amazing. I'm a little intimidated by the refried beans cooking method (ripping hot oil and water/liquid = 😱), but even if I took the lazy person's route and used canned refried beans, I think it would be so delish! That enchilada sauce? Sign. Me. Up! Also, how adorable is his dad?! ❣️ Also, too, I need a manicure, man! I miss me some fancy nails! 💅
I hope this recipe is in your cookbook! It is so amazing! Also side note I will never get over that episode where your colleagues at Bon Appetit were trying to "improve" one of your dad's recipes. I disagreed / was upset with them during the episode and I'm still upset about it. Your dad's recipes are flawless! 🥰
So jummy 😋. I am totally making these enchiladas, we already have converted to your refried beans 😄. Thanks so much for accessible and delightful recipes 😁.
I recently made the enchiladas and beans for my family. It's a good thing I set aside some beans and 1 Enchilada for my lunch the next day, because the food was completely gone in 24 hours. Only 3 people but my grown son and husband loved them!
Oh my lord, enough cheese to kill a horse, but looks so incredible. Makes me miss Texas! I have refried beans on the docket for this week but will try to make the whole meal sometime this summer. Love Rick's dad so much!!
Awesome recipe! I was oddly out of chicken stock, so I added about four tablespoons of El Pato tomato sauce to the chili enchilada sauce. Really scrumptious
This looks and sounds amazing. Pinto beans are my favorite, but I've never made refried beans from scratch. I don't know why i haven't, but that needs to change. I love that your dad has his mother's bean pot ❤ I have some of my grandmother's pots, too 😊
I love seeing you cook food that is so clearly close to your heart. The generations of memories and flavor show.
Thanks so much for watching, Julie!
Hey Rick just letting you know that I think you're a darling and seeing you on TH-cam is an inspiration to me as a queer Latino from Texas.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing :).
I make tamales for Christmas eve.
this is one of the best cooking shows on TH-cam. Rick is the best.
Living for Rick's shirts, aprons, kitchen, and all of the sweet heat recipes! LOVE the visit with your father!!
Your father looks like a lovely man. I like everything you cook, looks so yummy.
These videos are dangerous to watch in the morning. Then it's just Rick/enchiladas on my mind all day

Your father did it with this dish !!! Also yass the 💅🏾 are back. I’m also coming for a plate from both of you 😂. Also an unboxing i am loving this.

Loved you talking about your dad. That’s so special.
Let us know what you think, Quinn!
This made me miss my grandma so much. Your dad is adorable, and his beans look scrumptious. I’m so happy you guys reconnected.
I'm glad you make this look so easy. The nails and shirts look amazing !
I adore that Food52 has given Rick and Sohla the space to make content where their personalities truly shine not just their stellar cooking.
amazing episode, from the family reunion to the amazingly colourful shirts! Rick is a sweetheart & we appreciate him!

You are my favorite cook. I really enjoy every recipe you have shared. Thank you
Not just melt in your mouth, Rick is making food that "melts your heart," that's some good eating!
Gosh, I love Rick! He's so chill and his voice is so soothing! Love the new shirts too!
Looks delicious. When Rick was assembling the enchiladas, it kinda looked like a Mexican version of cannelloni. I'm going to have to try this!

Rick loved your way of cooking these enchiladas are looking super delicious and yummy

Love his dad counting his precious beans! And the gorgeous terracotta dishware!!
I am so happy to see this recipe. Serious chefs never touch TexMex cause it isn’t “authentic”. I get it. But it’s authentic to my childhood and holds a special place for me. So really excited to learn real TexMex from someone who knows it well. Thanks so much for sharing Rick.

Thanks for representing Tex - Mex on your channel. Everyone should have a great cheese enchilada at least once in their life.

Awesome recipe! I was oddly out of chicken stock, so I added about four tablespoons of El Pato tomato sauce to the chili enchilada sauce. Really scrumptious
I can’t wait to try this. It looks amazing!!!

I love that your dad has his mother's bean pot ❤ I have some of my grandmother's pots, too 😊
These look delicious, and the camera work is good.
Very close to my grandmother's Tex-Mex enchiladas, from Texas 💖
Those enchiladas look so delicious! I’m so hungry!!
I’m a San Antonian born and bred and I approve this dish! Now I want enchiladas.
