The Enchilada Experience
The term "enchilada," meaning "seasoned with chilies," perfectly describes this flavorful dish. Whether using red chili sauce or green tomato-based variations, enchiladas offer endless possibilities. Traditionally made with corn tortillas, the options for fillings range from chicken, beef, and cheese to vegetables, seafood, and even potatoes.
How to Make Enchiladas
Ingredients:
- Corn tortillas
- Favorite enchilada sauce (red or green)
- Shredded cheese
- Choice of filling (chicken, beef, vegetables, etc.)

Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Tortillas: In a large pan, briefly cook each tortilla in oil for 2-3 seconds until soft. Set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: Sauté onion and garlic until tender. Add 1 cup of salsa, 3 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with 1 cup of water, and crushed fire-roasted tomatoes. The sauce should be rich, slightly sweet, and not overly vinegary.
