Enchilada (Chicken)

Hello Dear Friends,

Enchilada great Mexican foodThere are different recipes for making this legendary dish. Corn tortillas made from cornmeal are used in Mexico. We use lavash with tortilla written on it, which you can easily buy from the markets.

Its name comes from chilli pepper, a type of hot pepper. Since we didn't want it to be too hot, we used capia and sweet green pepper.

The biggest feature of this recipe is the sauce, although chili peppers are used in the sauce, I used a thick pepper paste in it. It made the color of the sauce incredibly beautiful. Apart from this, you can use grated tomatoes or homemade canned tomatoes for the winter. If you don't have any of these, you can also use a tomato puree that you like from the market.

Generally, garlic or onion powder is used in sauces, but I haven't gotten much flavor from those powders until now. That's why I added 1 finely chopped clove of garlic, so it had a more lively flavor.

It is possible to make meat or vegetarian versions of this recipe. After all, whatever you wrap in the wrap, if you add this sauce and cheese on top, it has all kinds of expenses :)

Fresh coriander is usually used for the topping, but I added a little parsley as it didn't suit our taste. This was to make it look more appetizing than delicious.

The ingredient list or the preparation of the recipe should not seem long and difficult to your eyes. It looks that way because I wrote it down to the smallest detail. It's actually one of the easiest meals in the world. We can summarize it as grill, sauté, fold and bake :)

If you want to experience a full Mexican breeze at home, guacamole You can serve it by preparing sauce and sour cream.
