Enchilada Bake
An enchilada is a traditional Mexican dish. The name comes from the Spanish word enchilar - "to add chilli pepper to". The traditional enchilada sauce is dried red chillies soaked and ground into a sauce with other seasonings. Most enchiladas consist of a stuffed or layered tortilla, covered with a spicy sauce and baked. It is easy to make and packed full of flavour.
