ROTFL! Shame it's not true LOL.

It is true if the enchiladas preceeded the founding of New Mexico. So
which is the chicken and which is the egg?

But the enchiladas in the region did precede the founding of New Mexico.
The area NM now occupies was inhabited long before the Spanish ever set
foot there. Layering food in maize tortillas wasn't invented by the
Europeans.

So New Mexians poached the stacked enchiladas from the Sonorans and
renamed them "New Mexican enchiladas." Well, what do you know - it is
what I said!

ROTFL are you being deliberately so obtuse? No one poached anything but
stick to your rairy tale if it makes you feel better. Probably the
Sonorans copied from the Northern Sonorans who lived where NM is now.
Not one of my Mexican friends has ever heard stacked enchiladas called
Sonoran enchiladas. Did you make that up?

It is a fact. You can search a few recipe sites if you like, or next
time you come out to San Diego, I'll take you to one of seveal
restaurants where they are served and named Sonoran and, because I
will have educated you to their existence, you can graciously pay for
dinner.

I sense you may be missing the meaning of "poached." In any event,
other than in New Mexico, they are referred to as Sonoran, except in
places that revere New Mexico and think that poaching a dish is okay.
