If you're anything like me, you can't get enough good enchilada recipes. This versatile dish just seems to say "Mexican food," perhaps more than any other, and the Mexican food lovers I meet all seem to have their all-time favorites. Just think about it: You have chicken enchilada recipes, as well as ones that include pork, beef, and even seafood (such as shrimp). There are ones with no meat at all, but which still call for 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 don't rank high on my list of favorites. For me, a "real" plate of enchiladas simply has to have at least a generous serving of cheese - with all respect to you vegetarians out there. Plus there's a nearly endless array of toppings and fillings: red, green, and yes, cream sauces, and the many possible combinations and/or variations on 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 elsewhere just doesn't compare - but maybe you feel differently! Well, my blog is now up and running (see link below), so don't be shy to post your comments, and even your own enchilada recipes. Together, we'll have some fun, share some great recipes, and hopefully discover some great Mexican food together. By the way, here's a cookbook with some great enchilada recipes, and quite a few other very good Mexican food recipes. I've yet to try them all and obviously, you'll find quite a bit more than just enchilada recipes, but it looks like a winner to me so far. 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!
