Enchiladas are a traditional Mexican dish made by rolling corn tortillas around a filling and then covering them in a savory chili-based sauce. Common fillings include shredded chicken, beef, beans, or cheese, along with seasonings like onion, garlic, and spices. They are often baked and topped with melted cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro. Enchiladas provide a good source of protein and fiber, especially when made with lean meats, beans, and whole-grain tortillas. However, they can be high in calories and saturated fat due to heavy cheese, fried tortillas, and rich sauces. Opting for healthier variations—like using low-fat cheese, lightly prepared tortillas, or adding extra vegetables—can reduce calorie content while boosting nutrients. This flavorful dish is a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine, celebrated for its comforting taste and versatility in preparation.
