Authentic Enchiladas (in progress)
Enchiladas. Like tacos and burritos, enchiladas are among the most popular Mexican foods outside of Mexico. They consist of rolled corn tortillas stuffed with a variety of fillings like meat, beans, cheese, potatoes, and vegetables before being drenched in a sauce.
The most important tip for avoiding soggy enchiladas is to briefly fry your tortillas in hot oil before you fill and roll. This creates a little bit of a barrier so that the tortillas don’t soak up too much of the sauce and therefore start to break down.
Combine enchilada sauce with equal parts unsalted tomato sauce made with tomato paste (because the enchilada sauce alone is too salty). Heat sauce in microwave, heat tortilla in hot oil 3-4 seconds, place on plate, add filling (chicken taco filling), some sauce, grated cheese fold over, put more sauce and grated cheese on top. Heat in microwave 30 sec to melt cheese. Top with shredded cabbage/lettuce, avocado, diced tomato, sour cream, avocado-cilantro dressing. Eat it along with Mexican Salad.
