Discover the secret to delicious, authentic enchiladas with these key ingredients used in traditional Mexican kitchens for generations.

Soft corn tortillas are the traditional base. Their flavor and texture hold the fillings and sauce perfectly without falling apart.

A rich red sauce made from dried chilies, garlic, onions, and spices gives enchiladas their signature bold and spicy flavor.

Use shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican cheese blend for that perfect melt and creamy texture inside and on top.

Shredded chicken, ground beef, or pork are classic protein fillings, seasoned to bring out robust, savory flavors.

Onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes add a fresh, colorful crunch and balance out the richness of the cheese and sauce.

Cumin, oregano, chili powder, and garlic bring that deep, earthy heat and authentic Mexican aroma to your enchiladas.

Optional fillers like black beans or Spanish rice add texture and make enchiladas more hearty and satisfying.
