About Enchilada

Enchiladas are a classic Mexican dish made by rolling soft corn tortillas around a filling, typically chicken, beef, cheese, beans, or veggies, and topping them with a flavorful chili-based sauce. Often baked and garnished with ingredients like melted cheese, sour cream, cilantro, or onions, enchiladas are rich in taste and tradition, originating from Mexican street food culture. Nutritional content varies depending on ingredients and preparation. Many enchilada fillings, such as lean proteins and beans, provide a good source of protein and fiber. Corn tortillas are lower in fat and calories compared to flour tortillas, making them a lighter option. However, enchiladas can become calorie-dense if made with excess cheese, oil, or creamy sauces. For a healthier version, opt for fresh vegetables, whole beans, and moderate amounts of cheese or sauce to enjoy this flavorful dish in a balanced way.
