Susan in TN Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (((hugs))) Jean I had a really bad night terror last night. Dh had to grab me to snap me out of it. My heart was beating so fast, and I was shaking uncontrollably. I am now researching what to do about them. Not much, apparently! Epsom salt baths. As Jean said, magnesium. It is the only thing that got rid of ds's night terrors after 6 months of them almost every night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Enchiladas are not rolled, they are stacked, one at a time, but not in a casserole. Of course, I guess it can depend on what region of Mexico someone is from with the rolled vs stacked issue. And of course it is with a corn tortilla. If someone is rolling something inside a flour tortilla, most normal people call that a burrito. Mine look kind of like this, but I like red chile: Like this, just don't use yellow cheese. ick:: I think we have a regional difference because all of the hole in the wall genuine Mexican food places here roll their enchiladas. So do all of the Tex Mex places. I've never eaten anything that looks like the above. Same ingredients in all of these options, just assembled differently. If you visit Texas and order an enchilada plate, you will get rolled tortillas with meat or cheese inside and a sauce on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I already take a heaping teaspoon of Natural Calm magnesium every day without fail for migraine prevention, but the epsom salts would provide a different way to get it into me. It is worth a try, and I do like to take a bath most nights anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very rare that you will find a restaurant that will stack tortillas like that because it takes so long to do. They roll them in the restaurants here too. However, when it comes to homemade it is different. My suegra was a restaurant cook and rolled at the restaurant but stacked at home :D. The only rolling I do is for flautas, but those are fried, not baked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I googled chicken enchiladas and got this as the first hit: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/chicken-enchiladas-recipe.html In fact, all of the enchilada recipes on the page are rolled. Even the Pioneer Woman rolls hers. I rest my case. :hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I googled "rolled or stacked" and there was a discussion about it as the first hit. Interestingly, somebody credited it as a New Mexican thing. My husband is the one that taught me, and he's true red/green/white Mexican. It is less messy, you can make them as big as you want with as much or little filling or chile you want. Rolled seems like it's more trouble than it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
