MEXICAN ENCHILADAS

Even just the enchiladas are a whole meal. When the filling contains some meat, they are satisfying, tasty, and very well-balanced. There are several methods to make red enchiladas, but the recipe for chicken-filled ones is among the most popular in Mexico. 

Enchiladas' lack of a side dish is one of their benefits. They can be served as a side dish with rice or beans, but it's okay if they aren't.
