Enchilada Recipes - Authentic Mexican Dishes

If you're anything like me, you can't get enough good enchilada recipes. There's just something about this popular dish that seems to embody the spirit of real Mexican food, perhaps more than any other.

There's such a wide variety: There are chicken enchilada recipes, as well as ones that include beef, pork, shrimp and other seafood. There are ones with no meat at all, but which still include one or more from a wide assortment of cheeses. There are enchilada recipes for vegetarians which forgo 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 must have at least a generous portion of cheese - with all respect to you vegetarians out there.

Plus you have a nearly endless array of toppings and fillings: green, red, and even 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 don't know about you, but I'm getting mucha hambre right about now, and we're only getting started!

Anyway, I think you're beginning to see that if you're looking for great enchilada recipes, you've come to the right 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. To me, Mexican food from other parts just doesn't compare - but maybe you feel differently! 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 haven't tried all of them (yet!) and obviously, you'll find quite a bit more than just enchilada recipes, but I've seen enough to give it a "thumbs up." I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this cookbook, so if you do order it, please post any comments you might have on my blog. Looking forward to hearing from you!
