About twice a month I need to get some mole enchiladas from the local shop. Otherwise, it's pork tacos for me.

Oh yes. From a van in Southern California on the way home from a dirty blues bar.

I don't get the different between burritos, enchiladas, Jimmy Bangers and all that.

They're good like, but surely there must be other stuff they can make food out of in Mexico than tortillas and chilli?

 

[toffee matt]

Not a fan tbh

Love enchiladas. Here's a basic recipe that I use:

CHIPOTLE ENCHILADAS

3 half-breasts chicken, cooked and cubed
9 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
3/4 c minced onion

Sauce:
2T butter
2T flour
1 c beef broth
1 c water
1 t cumin
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 t oregano
3-4 canned chipotle chiles, seeded and minced
2 T adobo sauce from can
2 T sour cream

Melt the butter in a skillet. Stir in flour. Cook this roux until it is light brown. Remove pan from heat and slowly stir in broth. Place pan over medium heat and whisk in water. Add the spices, garlic, chiles, and adobo sauce. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Whisk in sour cream.

Heat some oil in a skillet. Lightly fry a corn tortilla to soften it. Place it on a plate and fill with 1T cheese, 1T onion, and 1T chicken. Roll and place in a 9" x 13" dish. Repeat 12 times. Cover the enchiladas
with the chipotle sauce. Top with any remaining onions and cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, just until the sauce bubbles.

I usually double the recipe and make a huge pan that I can munch off of for days. For my vegetarian friends (and girlfriend) I substitute corn, blackbeans, and cubed sweet potatoes for the filler, instead of the chicken.

The key is in the name. Es enchilada, hence its about the sauce over the little burrito looking guy there. Cheese on enchilada is also good.

As for the rest, you have no idea. Mexican food is bigger than you can imagine. It's like its own world. Mega boss. This is just the easy restaurant stuff. It's like thinking Chinese food is what you have at the takeout. There are regions and all kinds of old Aztec/Native things that you never see outside a few places unless somebody from that part of Mex rolls into your town and opens a place up. The only way to find them is to follow the drywall guys around and see where they eat.

Always preferred Chimmy Changas and Taco's as my Mexican food of choice in all honesty

I do like Enchi's though
