Today:
Chicken EnchiladasThe ideal of tortillas being “wrapped, filled and eaten in various forms” is a custom that originated with the Aztecs. However, referring to this dish as an “enchilada” dates in the
US from 1885 . The word “enchilada” means “in chili” and it is generally a snack sold on the streets of
Mexico, and it consists of a “corn tortilla dipped in chili sauce”. This real Mexican version of the dish is totally different from the so-called enchiladas served in the
US, which are “limp, stuffed tortillas,” hidden beneath a sea of red sauce and cheese.
