“Pan must sigh, not scream.”
Scoop into pre-warmed bowls (run bowls under hot water → dry well).
Top with lettuce + tomato + salsa + sour cream (never mix into pan—soggy disaster).
Serve immediately—cold casserole = broken crunch.
You Must Know
🔥 Fritos must be frozen—thawed = soggy disaster
🧀 Cheese must be block-grated—pre-shredded = gummy texture
🌶️ Chilies must be hand-diced—pre-cut = flat flavor
💡 My #1 pro tip: Add 1 tsp sorghum syrup to enchilada sauce—Aunt Bea’s secret for “river depth”
“The dust storm I turned 10, I thawed the Fritos. Aunt Bea took one bite, set her fork down, and said, ‘Child, this casserole’s drowning. Go fix it.’ I’ve never rushed that step since.”
Serving & Storage
Serve: Hot with buttered cornbread (not rice—Aunt Bea’s rule: “Cornbread soaks up tears!”). Never cold—chills mute the smoke.
Storage: Store unmixed (casserole + garnishes separate) up to 3 days.
Revive leftovers: Pan-fry 3 mins in bacon grease (no oil—oil = betrayal). Tastes better day 2!
