About Guajillo beef enchilada

Guajillo Beef Enchiladas are a flavorful dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, showcasing tender beef wrapped in soft corn tortillas, smothered in a rich guajillo chili sauce. Guajillo peppers, known for their smoky, mildly spicy flavor, give the dish its signature zest and color. Common fillings include seasoned beef, onions, and sometimes cheese, creating a savory and satisfying profile. Topped with fresh garnishes like cilantro or diced onions, these enchiladas are packed with bold, authentic flavors. Health-wise, the dish is rich in protein from the beef and antioxidants from guajillo chilies, which support immune health. However, the calorie count may be higher due to added oils, cheese, and frying methods often used. Opting for low-fat cheese and baking instead of frying can make this dish a healthier option while preserving its traditional essence.
