The enchilada. Nothing could be more delectable than a combination of meat, sauce and cheese in a steaming pile of mush. Tasty? Absolutely. Nutritious? Surprisingly, yes! My love for Mexican cuisine coupled with my desire to increase my lifespan led to an enchilada recipe that simply skips 1 step – frying the tortillas. This recipe is simple, versatile, quick and a huge crowd pleaser (one of my father’s favorite meals). My most recent batch of enchiladas used the leftover filling from the Mexican Tortilla Pie with enough for 6 full enchiladas. The basic recipe is a staple in our house but lots of customizations are listed below. For a vegetarian version, replace the meat with a can of black beans.
