Enchilada

Chicken enchiladas are a popular Mexican dish consisting of corn tortillas wrapped around a filling, covered with a chili pepper sauce, and often baked with cheese. The filling is typically made with shredded chicken, although other ingredients such as cheese, beans, vegetables, or spices may also be included. The tortillas are softened in chicken broth or water before being filled and rolled. The dish is then topped with a savory sauce, usually made from chili peppers, and baked until bubbly and golden. Chicken enchiladas are often served with toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or fresh cilantro. In Hebrew, the dish is known as אנצ'ילאדות עוף. In Spanish, the term "enchilada" translates to "seasoned with chili," reflecting the dish's spicy origins. The dish is a staple in Mexican cuisine and has gained widespread popularity in the United States and other countries, often adapted to suit local tastes and ingredients.
