Steps:
- Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Add the ancho chile, chipotle chile, cocoa, oregano, garlic powder and cumin and cook, whisking frequently, until the mixture is thickened slightly and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock, whisk until smooth and continue to cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1/2 cup oil over medium heat in a large skillet until shimmering. Quickly fry each tortilla in the oil, about 5 seconds per side; let drain on paper towels.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix the Chihuahua, Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl. Ladle about a 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-14-inch glass baking dish. Stuff each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the cheese blend. Roll the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish in 2 identical rows of 6. Cover with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with the pickled jalapeno and fresh cilantro.
JOE GRACEY'S TEXAS CHEESE ENCHILADAS RECIPE
Joe Gracey on these enchiladas: "Enchiladas... are a part of all Mexican regional cooking, but each area's enchiladas are different, with different peppers, sauces, and fillings determined by local custom, climate, and produce. The Texas enchilada (... Texas does have its own unique, valid form of 'Mexican' food... ) is a corn tortilla wrapped around a cheese or meat filling and heated in a red chile sauce. Unfortunately, over the years it has tended to devolve into what I call the 'truck stop enchilada', which usually means corn tortillas stuffed with ground beef and covered in canned beef chili and tons of yellow Cheddar cheese from Wisconsin. I love Wisconsin Cheddar and I also make my own fabulous Texas chili con carne... but to put them into an enchilada dish is to misuse both with unfortunate results, both culinarily and digestively. I remember when in my DJ days in the early '70s Ry Cooder came to Austin to do a concert on the UT campus and I took him out to eat Tex-Mex at one of the '50's style joints in town. He got one of those big ol' giant platefuls of truck stop enchiladas with rice and refried beans and it was all he could do to go onstage that night for the massive stone lump in his stomach." "A good 'real' Texas enchilada uses a light flavored, decent white Mexican cheese or a Monterey Jack, and not a whole lot of it, and a red pepper chile sauce with no meat in it. Filling, yes, but also digestible." Good chicken stock will improve this dish. Better yet is Gracey's Mexican-Style Chicken Broth.

Steps:
- Combine the stock and chiles in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then uncover, reduce heat to medium-high, and boil until chiles are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the chiles from the broth and set them aside, reserving the broth.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft, 3-5 minutes. Set about 2 tablespoons of onions aside. Put the rest into a blender with the chiles, the garlic, and 1 cup of the broth. Purée to a smooth paste and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet over low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, to form a medium-brown roux, about 3 minutes. Stir in the puréed chiles, cumin, oregano, and as much of the broth as necessary to make a thick sauce. Continue cooking for about 30 minutes, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm over lowest possible heat, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Lightly oil a glass or ceramic baking dish just large enough to hold 12 enchiladas with a little of the oil. Heat the remaining oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tortillas 1 at a time, turning once, for about 2 seconds per side. As each tortilla finishes cooking, dip it into the enchilada sauce to coat well, then transfer it to a large plate.
- When tortillas are done, roll each one around about ¼ cup of cheese, and place the enchiladas side by side, seam side down, into the baking dish. Spoon remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with remaining cheese and reserved onions. Bake just until cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and serve.

CHEESE ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas are an essential component of Houston's ebullient, dynamic foodways. Mexican in origin, while distinctly Tex-Mex at the same time, the dish adapts to its surroundings. Each version of enchiladas is deeply local: The style ubiquitous in Monterrey, Mexico, will be different from those found in San Antonio or El Paso or Mexico City. But from enchilada to enchilada, the common denominator is deliciousness. In "The Enchilada Queen Cookbook," Sylvia Casares notes, "for Tex-Mex-style cheese enchiladas, yellow cheese, such as Cheddar, is the traditional choice" yielding "the quintessential Tex-Mex enchilada."

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch shallow baking dish or pan or a very large cast-iron skillet.
- Add the oil and flour to a medium skillet. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture (known as roux) turns a golden color, smells nutty and thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add garlic, chile powder, cumin, oregano and black pepper to the roux. Whisk until smooth (some clumping from the garlic is fine), being careful to not let the spices burn, about 30 seconds.
- While whisking constantly, add beef broth 1/4 cup at a time, whisking after each addition, until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat, and allow the gravy to rest for another 10 minutes. Taste the gravy and season with salt as needed for a savory sauce.
- Meanwhile, in another pan, lightly heat a tortilla over medium just until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or sheet of foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them in the towel or foil. Be careful of overcooking: You're softening each tortilla to prevent them from cracking as they're filled and folded.
- Fill a softened tortilla with about ⅓ cup of cheese. Roll shut and, with the seam side facing downward, place in the greased baking dish or skillet. Repeat until you've filled all of the tortillas, setting the rolls next to each other.
- Slowly pour the gravy over all of the tortillas to coat. Afterward, sprinkle the dish with the rest of the cheese and the diced onion.
- Bake until the gravy is bubbling and the cheese melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley, if desired, alongside a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
