Enchiladas are a delicious carb heavy messy comfort food that does photograph in a way that looks appealing. Add to it that Jeff never uses the correct ingredients and has such terrible skills that it looks like he chops onions with a pair of children's safety scissors. This is the weirdest thing to be obsessed about for a decade. You just know he probably edges to photos of his enchiladas.

We almost always make enchiladas with corn, but on occasion have substituted flour. It's more Tex Mex, but I like the texture better. It's really gooey. You have to use a little less sauce or it can get gummy.

Is it okay to ask for a hamburger well done
It is perfectly okay—and often recommended for health—to ask for a hamburger well-done. In fact, many food safety authorities and scientists consider it the safest way to consume ground beef.
Centre for Food Safety
Centre for Food Safety
+1
Why It’s "Okay" (And Even Preferred)
Food Safety: Unlike a steak where bacteria typically stays on the surface, the grinding process for burgers mixes surface bacteria throughout the meat. Cooking to "well-done" (an internal temperature of 160°F) is the only way to ensure harmful pathogens like E. coli or Salmonella are destroyed.
USDA/CDC Guidelines: These organizations officially recommend cooking all ground beef to 160°F to minimize the risk of foodborne illness.
Dietary Protection: For children, the elderly, pregnant individuals, or those with weakened immune systems, ordering well-done is a critical safety measure.
