 The Best Type Of Tortilla To Use For Enchiladas

Matthew Spina

In the never-ending battle for the hearts and mouths of Mexican food diners -- enchiladas are a heavyweight that can go toe-to-toe with tacos and burritos any day. Saucy, cheesy, spicy, and packed with a wide variety of fillings, enchiladas are comfort food with a kick. The simple formula of rolled tortilla, filling, and sauce makes it easy to give enchiladas the personal treatment; whether slathered in chile sauce tex-mex style or topped with Swiss cheese and tomatillo salsa, you can find the enchilada that speaks to you (via Texas Monthly).




With so many delicious options, you might not be worried about the tortillas you're using as you fill them up with your beans and cheese. They tend to be an afterthought, the mere vessel to deliver the fillings and toppings you want, but that's a mistake. Like the bread for a sandwich, the proper tortilla can make or break your enchiladas, turning your perfect rolls into a bland, soggy mess. Corn and flour tortillas have specific properties that make them each right for different Mexican dishes, but which should you reach for on enchilada night?

Corn Tortillas, of course.

Whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant, for the first time, my first order is always a plate of cheese enchiladas. If they can't make a good cheese enchilada, with a decent cheese flavor, they're exed off my list.

Enchiladas are precisely why I set about to learn the ways of rice - We have an old family recipe hereabouts that calls for rice in the filling.

Oddly enough, I can now make rice - Several kinds of pilaf and mixture, absolutely from scratch, that would put anything Lipton (Knorr) ever made to shame... But I never got around to those enchiladas. 

Funny how that goes.

Made some from hard corn I grew a few years back. They didn't turn out bad, the flavor was out of this world.

My first order is usually a "Mex Tex".... like you, if not worth a hoot, they get axed. The sausa also has to be good.
