Enchiladas are one of the most popular foods in Mexico. They’re made with tortillas (flatbreads similar to those used for tacos) and a filling—here, delicious chicken (you can also use turkey) and spicy chili sauces. If you’re concerned about the heat from the chiles, you can check my tips section for the spiciness levels of different chiles.

There are many types of enchiladas—red, green, Swiss, mole, bean, and more. Red enchiladas use a sauce made from tomatoes or dried chiles to give them their signature color.

España y México

No soy Eva Longoria, pero aqui estoy. Estoy casada, he vivido en España, Chile y otros países de América Latina debido al trabajo de mi marido (en una gran cadena hotelera). Ahora estoy nuevamente en España tras dos años en Puebla con mi madre, y un año en Mexico DF. Estudié Derecho en la UNAM, pero no lo terminé..Terminé los estudios de turismo España, pero no trabajo. Llevo varios meses en Mis recetas y me ha encantado. Modestamente me gustaría que entre todos los mexicanos promoviéramos un mejor conocimiento de la cocina mexicana en el mundo, especialmente en Europa.
