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 melty cheese—that makes the perfect one. Stacked corn tortillas are filled with fiery pepper jack cheese 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.

The rice could have had a little more flavor, but the rest was great.

Chef Maribel seems to be one of my absolute favorites. All of her dishes that I've tried so far have blown me away. This is the first that didn't quite make it to that point. It was just a bit one-note for me with all of the cheese. And the corn tortilla remained soggy despite warming it in the oven. Still a huge Chef Maribel fan!
