I am sorry, but I still don't get how my enchiladas are wraps. I mean how else do you make enchiladas but wrap them in tortillas place them in a pan, pour enchilada sauce on them, and douse them with cheese before baking? I appreciate a good joke, even at my own expense but this one is lost on me.
Actually classic enchiladas aren't rolled but are flat and layered.
Marfa, TX style.

Borunda Cafe has been around since forever and is the Mecca of Enchiladas.
That style comes from New Mexico originally. So not classic, unless you mean classic to NM. From Mexico they are rolled.
Are those diapers????
Tortilla Huggies.
For what it's worth i'll give you my 2 cents. I like my enchiladas rolled and a bunch baked together in a pan but this is not the way they were originaly made. Classic enchiladas are a flat tortilla, individualy prepared servings. Rolled in a pan is the norm in the U.S. some call an enchilada cassarole.
WTF?
A fellow Texan dissing enchiladas?
Go spew your vitriolic enchilada hate somewhere else enchy hater!
You make them wrong then. Fajitas are flour tortillas. Enchiladas are corn and before you bake them you take tongs and dip the tortilla in hot oil, then quickly in enchilada sauce. Then wrap. Then sauce and cheese the top and bake.
That's what makes them soggy probably. It isn't hatred of the enchilada, it is only a personal preference. Wife loves them and tries them everywhere we go. I just don't enjoy them. Maybe its like lobster, I didn't like it until I had it prepared properly. I have tried enchiladas all around Texas and a several spots in Mexico. Just don't dig 'em.
In Texas, Fajitas are corn or flour. Depends on who is eating them, what the occasion is, what meat is being served etc...
I don't like Menudo or Tripas either. You guys are gross.
Maybe I just have issues. I sincerely apologize to all of my fellow Texans.
Fajita's are grilled skirt steak.

No such thing as chicken or shrimp fajita's.

Nachos are just broken Tostadas.
Burritos are just tacos made with giant tortillas that get the ends folded in.
Taquitos are just deep fried burritos.

Enchiladas are manicotti. 
Taco's are pretty much the number one best food ever. I like wings and I like taco's PERIOD. A few beers with either, and I could die happy.
