Just think about it: There are chicken enchilada recipes, as well as ones that include pork, beef, and even seafood (such as shrimp). Some enchilada recipes have no meat at all, but which still include one or more of various cheeses. Some vegetarian enchilada recipes forgo the meat - and even the cheese - altogether, although admittedly, these don't rank high on my list of favorites. For me, an authentic serving of enchiladas simply has to have at least a generous portion of cheese - with all respect to you vegetarians out there.
And then there's all the other possible fillings and toppings: red, green, and yes, cream sauces, and the many variations upon those (can you say chicken enchiladas suizas?) There's sour cream, and ripe (black) olives, cilantro and avocado - I don't know about you, but I'm getting mucha hambre right about now, and we're only getting started!
So, if you're looking for the best enchilada recipes, look no further - I hope you can see by now, this is the place. But before going any further, I'll confess: I'm more than a bit picky regarding Mexican food! I grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and consider it (along with many friends and family members) the Mexican food capital of the world. In my humble opinion - and I've eaten "Southwestern"/Mexican food in many parts of the world - there's little, if any truly authentic Mexican food elsewhere.
But I expect to have some dissenters on this. Well, here's your chance to post your own recipes and comments - you can link to my blog from here (see below) - and don't be shy! Together, we'll have some fun, share some great recipes, and hopefully discover some great Mexican food together.
By the way, here's a cookbook with some great , and quite a few other very good Mexican food recipes. I've yet to try them all and obviously, you'll find quite a bit more than just enchilada recipes, but it looks like a winner to me so far. If you decide to try it, please let me know what you think - yet another subject to comment on in my blog. Thanks in advance!
