Red enchiladas are a traditional Mexican dish that blends bold flavors with comforting textures. Made with soft corn tortillas filled with ingredients like shredded chicken, cheese, or beans, they are rolled and smothered in a vibrant red chili sauce, typically made from dried chilies, tomatoes, garlic, and spices. Often baked to perfection and served with sides like rice, beans, or fresh vegetables, red enchiladas offer a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. They are a good source of energy and can be rich in vitamins such as A and C from the chili sauce. However, depending on the filling and toppings, they can be high in sodium, saturated fat, or calories, especially if laden with cheese and sour cream. Lighter versions can be made by using lean proteins, whole-grain tortillas, and reducing heavy garnishes. Red enchiladas showcase the vibrant essence of Mexican cuisine while offering ways to customize for healthier eating.
