Corn tortillas filled with yellow cheddar, rolled and blanketed in a dark brick-red chili gravy of dried chiles, beef tallow, flour and beef broth. The defining dish of Dallas Tex-Mex, served with rice and refried beans.

Miguel Martinez codified cheese enchiladas with chili gravy at El Fenix in Dallas in the 1920s, adapting a recipe he developed as a cook at the Oriental Hotel. The chili gravy format, distinct from the mole or chile sauce of interior Mexico, became the signature of Dallas and Fort Worth Tex-Mex and spread across every combination-plate restaurant in the state. El Fenix has served the same recipe since 1918.
