Everyone has their ideal enchilada and for Chef Maribel, it's the union of chipotle, tomato, and corn tortillas— hand dipped in sizzling oil and filled with shredded chicken and melty pepper jack cheese—that makes the perfect one. Stacked corn tortillas are filled with tender, tomato-braised chicken and smothered in Chef's smoky chipotle-tomato sauce, then baked to perfection. Topped with a cooling crema fresca and served alongside jasmine rice and black beans, this dish delivers comfort in each bite.
