An enchilada is a corn or flour tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a spicy or savory sauce. Enchiladas can be filled with many varieties of ingredients, including various meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, or vegetables. A variety of sauces can also be used to cover the enchiladas, including chile-based sauces, such as salsa roja, or salsa verde, various moles, or even cheese-based sauces such as chile con queso. Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Mayan times.
