Authentic Enchiladas 🇲🇽

By CookUp • Issue #15 • View online

This week we’ll dive into authentic Enchiladas. Originating in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Aztec times. Enchilada is the past participle of Spanish enchilar, “to add chili pepper to”.

Enchiladas can be filled with various ingredients, including meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables or combinations. Usually covered with a chili-based sauce. Let’s get to it and cook up some delicious Enchiladas of your own.

Very traditional

Enchiladas Rojas

Tortillas stuffed with chicken, beef or beans. Slathered in enchilada sauce and topped with cheese and baked. That’s typically how most recipes are done in the US, however the authentic enchiladas in Mexico are a completely different experience and that’s what we are making today.
