Cheese enchiladas are a classic dish in Mexican cuisine, celebrated for their comforting blend of flavors and textures. These enchiladas are made by rolling corn tortillas around a rich filling of melted cheese, typically cheddar or a Mexican blend, then smothered in a zesty red enchilada sauce and baked until bubbly. They may be garnished with fresh ingredients like chopped cilantro, diced onions, and a dollop of sour cream. While they provide a good source of calcium and protein from the cheese, they can also be high in saturated fat and sodium, depending on the preparation and toppings. Pairing cheese enchiladas with a side of fresh vegetables or a leafy salad can help balance the dish nutritionally. They’re a delicious option for vegetarians and a satisfying comfort food rooted in culinary tradition.
