Sprinkled with strips of low - carb tortillas, this dish also captures the flavor
of traditional enchiladas but without the high amount of carbs.
Traditional enchiladas follow this basic formula: a filling (meat, cheese, veggies, etc) wrapped in a corn tortilla and topped with spicy pepper sauce.
I named this soup «enchilada soup» not so much to make soup out
of traditional enchiladas, but because I'm a big fan of using red enchilada sauce in vegetable - heavy soups, rather than just all tomatoes.
What a great light alternative to
traditional enchiladas, sweet potato is such a wonderful ingredient in so many things, will be trying this next time we need a little enchilada fix:)
Traditional enchiladas are made with a corn or flour tortilla that has some kind of filling, topped off with a tomato based sauce and typically lots of cheese and then baked.
Traditional enchiladas should be made with corn tortillas, not flour tortillas like we normally see here in New Jersey.
I grew up in NM and love Mexican food... this is sure a different spin on
the traditional enchiladas!
Trade
the traditional enchilada sauce for a creamy, cheesy topping on this Mexican chicken casserole recipe.
Traditional enchiladas are usually submerged in melted cheese because it helps lock in the moisture and adds creaminess.
A fun alternative to
a traditional enchilada with tortillas, making this a gluten free dish if you're concerned about such things, and a tasty way to ensure we're eating more veggies!
