The Best Cheese Enchilada

ok HUGE snob when it comes to Mexican food. My husband and I spent a few months living in Mexico and everything I thought I knew about Mexican food was changed. I came away with tons of favorite recipes, like Authentic Mexican Rice, delicious homemade corn tortillas, homemade tamales and my favorite homemade horchata! 

What Kind of Tortillas Should You Use for Authentic Cheese Enchiladas?

This recipe calls for white corn tortillas, but ifIf you enjoy flour tortillas, those will work great! It’s important to warm the corn tortillas to make them easier to roll for enchiladas, and to prevent them from cracking. To warm the corn tortillas, place them on a hot skillet or griddle and cook them for 15-30 seconds on each side. 

How Do You Roll Enchiladas Without Breaking the Tortillas?

The short answer is: you can’t. Or at least you can’t without either lightly frying the tortillas first, and/or dipping each tortilla in red sauce before filling which, in my opinion, takes a lot of time and creates a huge mess. (Source: iowagirleats.com)
