Description

An enchilada is a Mexican version of a wrap (if we take this word in a broad sense). A corn tortilla is filled with a stuffing that must include a chili pepper sauce, and it's also desirable to add fresh hot peppers. The other ingredients and their combinations can vary widely: chicken, vegetables, beef, potatoes, cheese, or even rice.
