Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Place enchilada sauce in a small saucepan and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook tortillas, one at a time, until just starting to change color, but are still limp and pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Pour all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet to a heat-proof bowl; discard when cool. Reserve 2 tablespoons oil in skillet off heat.
- Dip one tortilla in warm enchilada sauce, so that sauce lightly coats both sides. Place tortilla on an oven-safe plate or baking sheet. Spoon about 2 tablespoons sauce over tortilla, then sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons cheese. Dip a second tortilla in warm enchilada sauce, so that sauce lightly coats both sides. Layer tortilla on top of first tortilla on plate or baking sheet. Spoon another 2 tablespoons sauce over tortilla, then sprinkle with another 3 tablespoons cheese. Repeat process with remaining tortillas, sauce, and cheese so that you have 4 total enchilada stacks. Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- While enchiladas are baking, heat reserved 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium. Add 2 eggs to oil in skillet; season with half of salt. Cook eggs until desired degree of doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for over-easy. Transfer to a plate once cooked; set aside. Repeat with remaining eggs and salt.
- When cheese is melted, remove enchiladas from oven. Top each stack with one egg and garnish evenly with cilantro, tomato, onion, and lettuce.

Steps:
- Remove the stems from the chiles, place in a large bowl and pour in enough scalding water to cover the chiles. Weigh down the chiles with a plate to ensure that they stay submerged. Soak for at least 4 hours to overnight. After the chiles have soaked for awhile, dump out all the dirty water. Fill a blender halfway with the soaked chiles (you may need to do this is batches depending on the size of your blender) and cover with enough fresh water to puree the chiles (this should equal to about 8 cups of water). Pour the puree into a stock pot, add the chicken base and 7 more cups of water. Bring the sauce to a boil. Make a slurry with 1 cup of cold water and the cornstarch. Add the slurry to the sauce, stir and simmer the sauce for about 20 minutes. Strain the sauce with a chinois or mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a pan warm the shortening or oil to about 350 degrees F. Slide 1 tortilla at a time into the oil and coat with oil to make the tortillas pliable so that they do not tear or break when rolling the enchiladas. Make sure that the tortilla is only in the oil for a few seconds and doesn't fry.
- Coat the bottom of a baking dish with about 1 cup of enchilada sauce to prevent the enchiladas from sticking to the pan. Lay a tortilla down, fill with 1/4 cup of cheddar and jack cheeses and 1-ounce of sauce. Toll the tortilla and place in the baking dish. Continue with the remaining tortillas. Cover the enchiladas with sauce so that the tortillas are coated well. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Garnish with green onion.
- Serve the enchiladas and black beans with 2 eggs cooked any style.
- Boil all ingredients in a pot for about 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Remove the onion.

Steps:
- For the tortilla bowls: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Brush the tortilla bowls inside and out with the butter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until just golden and firm, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- For the pork: Cut the pork into 3 pieces. Rub with the taco seasoning.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When hot, add the pork and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and some salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the onion begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and roast until the pork is cooked through and measures 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the pork rest 5 minutes, then thinly slice. Return the pork the skillet and toss to combine with the onions.
- For the vegetables and beans: Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers, jalapeno, onion and zucchini on a baking sheet with the oil and taco seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on the top rack of the oven at the same time as the pork, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables are browned and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Mix the beans into the vegetables on the baking sheet.
- For the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce: While the pork and vegetables roast, make the sauces. Stir together the ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, taco seasoning and chipotle and adobo sauce in a medium bowl.
- For the white BBQ sauce: Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, horseradish, granulated sugar and garlic in a separate medium bowl. Season with hot sauce and salt.
- For topping and serving: Fill 6 of the tortilla bowls with the vegetable and beans and 6 with the pork and onions. Drizzle the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce over 3 of each filling and sprinkle with the Cheddar. Drizzle the white BBQ sauce over the remaining 3 of each filling and sprinkle with the pepper jack. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Top with sour cream and sliced scallions.

EGG ENCHILADAS
These are scrambled eggs with a Mexican twist that can be served any time of the day. They don't require baking time however; they are slipped under the broiler to melt the cheese. Sometimes I heat the tortillas briefly in the microwave before dipping in the sauce to keep them from cracking when rolling them up. Recipe is from Sunset Mexican Cook Book.
