About Enchilada with red sauce

Enchilada with red sauce is a beloved dish from Mexican cuisine, known for its bold flavors and comforting texture. This savory meal typically consists of a soft corn tortilla filled with options like seasoned chicken, beef, cheese, or beans, then rolled and smothered in a rich, tangy red chili sauce. It is often topped with melted cheese, fresh cilantro, and sometimes a dollop of sour cream. The red sauce, made from dried red chilies, tomatoes, garlic, and spices, provides a smoky and slightly spicy flavor profile. On the nutrition front, enchiladas can offer protein from the fillings and dietary fiber from the tortillas. However, they are often high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, especially when loaded with cheese or cream-based toppings. To make enchiladas healthier, opt for lean protein, add extra vegetables, and use a lighter hand with cheese and sauces. Enjoy in moderation for a balanced meal.
