Cheese Enchiladas

Cheese enchiladas are a popular Mexican dish consisting of corn tortillas wrapped around a filling, covered with a chili pepper sauce, and often topped with melted cheese. The term "enchilada" translates to "seasoned with chili" in Spanish, and the dish is believed to have originated in Mexico, with its earliest known mention dating back to the late 19th century. In Hebrew, cheese enchiladas can be translated as אנצ'ילאדות גבינה. The dish has gained international popularity and has been adapted to various regional tastes. Traditionally, cheese enchiladas are made with Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, and the tortillas are dipped in a red chili sauce before being filled and rolled. The enchiladas are then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Variations of the dish include green enchiladas, which use a green chili sauce, and enchiladas suizas, which are topped with a creamy white sauce. Cheese enchiladas are often served as a main course, accompanied by sides such as rice, beans, guacamole, and salsa.
