Hooray for Enchiladas! My father used to make enchiladas for me every time I came to visit. Enchiladas aren’t the easiest of dishes to photograph. They end up looking like a sloppy mess most of the time, even though they are incredibly delicious to eat. Choose your favorite from the collection below, and make enchiladas for tonight’s dinner!
Easy Beef Enchiladas by RecipeGirl– Like the title says, these are just easy enchiladas with a homemade sauce if you’re so inclined to make it. My family loves these.
White Chicken Enchiladas by House of Nash Eats: These enchiladas are made with shredded chicken and cheese in a sour cream sauce with green chilis and cumin, then topped with all the classic toppings.
Beef and Black Bean Enchiladas from Mango & Tomato– Since my family loves my beef enchiladas, I’m guessing that an addition of black beans might be in order too.
Creamy Chicken Enchiladas by RecipeGirl– Super creamy and a bunch of good stuff on top too. I love these enchiladas big time.
Vegetable Enchiladas by RecipeGirl: These enchiladas are family- friendly since they don’t have any strange vegetables tucked inside. They’re just a combo of spinach and corn, plus Jack cheese and black beans.
Chicken and Black Bean Zucchini Enchiladas by Taste and Tell– These just look yummy. And a squeeze of lime is perfect. I love everything from Deborah’s blog.
Zucchini- Beef Enchiladas by RecipeGirl– Call me sneaky, but I served these enchiladas to my little boy and he had zero clue that there was zucchini hidden in there. He loved them 🙂
Chipotle Pork Enchiladas by White on Rice Couple– I think these are too beautiful to eat, but chipotle-pork in an enchilada sounds absolutely delightful to me!
Shrimp Enchiladas Verde by Eat Live Run– Shrimp in an enchilada is a very good idea indeed!
Cheesy Seafood Green Enchiladas by Reluctant Entertainer. These enchiladas are baked in a creamy green sauce, and they’re full of shrimp and crab and cheese!
Skinny Chicken Enchiladas by SkinnyTaste– A skinny version of enchiladas is always welcome. Weight Watcher’s points and nutritional information is included on these.
Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas by Noble Pig. Love this non-traditional enchilada recipe!
Light Bean and Cheese Enchiladas by Noble Pig– yet another light option- yay!
Cranberry Turkey Enchiladas by RecipeGirl– an alternative flavor for enchiladas… I know they sound bizarre, but you’ve gotta trust me on this one- they are soooo good!
Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas by RecipeGirl: These are the best green chicken enchiladas with two kinds of cheeses and a delicious filling too.
Thai Chicken Enchiladas by How Sweet It Is– Leave it to Jessica to come up with something totally different for an enchilada. I’m excited to try this one!
Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas by Two Peas and Their Pod– Since roasted vegetables are good by themselves, let alone when included in a main dish, this one has got to be fabulous.
Enchilada Lasagna by Lauren’s Latest– Veering off into enchilada-themed dishes, this “lasagna” looks intriguing too.
Enchilada Stuffed Shells by Love Bakes Good Cakes. These are easy and kid-friendly! They’re a tasty dinner filled with plenty of Mexican flavors we all know and love.
Chicken Enchilada Puffs by TidyMom– And stuffing enchilada stuffing into crescent pastry to create a meal is something that might work well for your family dinner.
Hope you found some enchilada love in all of this delicious madness!
No matter which recipe you try first, second, third.. nineteenth – a good secret is that whatever chile sauce you plan to use, MAKE EXTRA. Take some of it and stew the meat filling first, over a low heat, then stuff the enchilada and bake as normal.
.
The word Enchilada means “in chili”. (from wiki: Enchilada, past participle of Spanish enchilar, “to add chile pepper to”, literally to “season (or decorate) with chile.”)
.
So use that sauce inside and out. Spread a thin spoonful on the inside of the softened tortilla with the back of a spoon, before adding the meat filling. Then, when spooning the filling into the tortillas, use a slotted spoon to bring out the meat, leaving the sauce in your pan for spooning over the top with the cheese, sprinkle with fine chopped black olives.
Yummm.
Also: Wait 5 minutes after bringing the dish from the oven, before digging in. Don’t serve immediately or the dish won’t have time to set up and it will seem disappointingly goop-gooey.
This list is fantastic. I was so inspired, I made your asparagus enchiladas last night, subbing green chili for the onions. They are now my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
