Setting
Kitchen. I'm preparing dinner: homemade enchiladas.
Action
Me: Hey, Dad. Can you open a beer for me. I need it for a recipe.
Dad: Sure (opens fridge) But you don't have any beer.
Me: There's some on the top shelf.
Dad: That's ale.
Me: What?
Dad: That's ale.
Me: OK, can you open it for me?
Dad: You only have ale. You said you wanted beer.
Me: Uh...ok, I guess I'll use water.
Dad: I guess you can use this ale...
Me: ???
Enchiladas
16 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
3/4 c BEER (or ALE or WATER or WHATEVER)
1 can beef broth
3 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried pepper flakes
1/2 tsp of each of the following: garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper
0 to 10 drops hot sauce
whisk together all ingredients. Simmer for 10 minutes.
The way I make enchiladas: brown 1 package of ground turkey. Drain and add 1 cup (or so) of sauce + a big handful mexican shredded cheese. Stir to combine. Spoon 1/4 c sauce into the bottom of a large greased casserole dish. Spoon ground meat mixture into wheat tortillas and roll up. Put seam side down into dish. Repeat until meat is used up. Top with more sauce and grated cheese. Heat in 350 oven until bubbly.
YUM-O

...the ale was better in the recipe than using beer.

Becky,
Yum! I am always looking for new recipes and I know you are famous for these enchiladas. One question, How many enchiladas does it usually make?
Elizabeth
I'd say a dozen. But, you could be more or less generous with the scoop of meat in to the tortilla. Or double the meat and have lots of left overs. Either way, you have lots of sauce.
Aloha!
