  • Enchiladas Recipe

     

    I made my first pan of enchiladas for a potluck lunch when I first moved to Texas.  I made a batch of chicken enchiladas and followed a recipe I had found in one of my cookbooks.  The women that grew up eating enchiladas were all very nice and told me the dish was delicious.  It was for a Christmas celebration so I used diced green and red peppers to sprinkle on top of the dish.  I received a good many compliments and then someone told me it was delicious but why did I use flour tortillas.  That started a conversation and I found some recipes don’t specify flour or corn tortillas because everyone down here knows to use corn tortillas to make enchiladas.  I now use corn tortillas even though the flour tortillas were pretty tasty.
