If you love enchiladas as much as I do, you can't get enough good enchilada recipes. This versatile dish just seems to say "Mexican food," perhaps more than any other, and the Mexican food lovers I meet all seem to have their personal favorites.
There's such a wide variety: There are chicken enchilada recipes, as well as ones that include shrimp (and even other seafood), pork and of course, beef. Some enchilada recipes have no meat at all, but which still include one or more of various cheeses. There are enchilada recipes for vegetarians which omit the meat - and even the cheese - altogether, although admittedly, these wouldn't be included among my all-time favorites. For me, an authentic serving of enchiladas simply has to have at least a healthy portion of cheese - no offense to you vegetarians out there.
And then you have 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?) You can use avocado, black (ripe) olives, as well as cilantro and sour cream - I'm getting very hungry right about now, and I'm only scratching the surface - how about you?
Anyway, I think you're beginning to see that if you're looking for great enchilada recipes, you've come to the right place. However, I'll admit it right up front: I'm a bit of a Mexican food snob! I hail from Las Cruces, NM, and consider it (along with many friends and family members) the Mexican food capital of the world. In my humble opinion - and I've sampled Mexican/"Southwestern" food from many areas - there's little, if any truly authentic Mexican food elsewhere.
But I expect to hear some disagreement on this. Don't worry - you now have your chance to voice your opinions and comments, and even post your own enchilada recipes. My blog is now up, and you can link to it (below) from this article! So let's swap recipes, have a little fun, and maybe even discover some (hopefully) authentic Mexican food along the way.
By the way, here's a cookbook with some great enchilada recipes, 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 I've seen enough to give it a "thumbs up." 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!
