Savor one of Chef Maribel's specialties: her decadent, comforting enchiladas.This Tex-Mex take on the classic dish pairs corn tortillas— hand dipped in sizzling oil and filled with melty pepper jack cheese—with a rich beef and Ancho chile sauce to smother atop the enchiladas. On the side, traditional red rice and creamy charro beans complete the dish. Top with crema fresca to a light, refreshing note to each rich bite.

About Maribel Rivero

Personal chef and cooking instructor in Austin, TX. My specialty covers foods from South America to North America. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with a Best Chef nomination in 2019. Due to covid Yuyo closed with many other opportunities to cook for many more than I could have imagined through CookUnity.
