A Treat for the Taste buds!
The flavours of Mexican foods are not only inviting and appealing to us but also easy to adapt to our daily recipes as well. From the chilli and peppers to the salsa, nachos and tacos! this cuisine has so much to offer that it gets difficult to pick and choose between the options. Mexican ingredients are easily available from assorted fresh vegetables to the corn meal, the tortillas, jalapenos, peppers and tomatoes for the salsa. The kitchens of Mexico also have a wide array of non-veg ingredients too including chicken, eggs, fish and seafood, and red meat as well in some recipes.

The methods of cooking in this cuisine are easy to follow and also don’t really call for any unusual equipment as well. Pots and pans, griddles and hot plates, fryers and ovens are some of the most commonly used mediums. The steps involved in the recipes are short and easy to follow keeping in mind the nutritive aspects as well in most recipes. While they do love to have their foods well presented with accompaniments and garnishes there is a lot more that we can think of as well when it comes to fusion with Mexican recipes.

On a Concluding Note: Enchiladas are one of those recipes from Mexican cuisine which is able to find its place at any given hour of the day be it a brunch, a supper or even a craving in the evening hours to munch on something interesting and tasty. As advice, we can also assemble these enchiladas and keep them all ready, set them in the baked dishes and store them covered/cling-wrapped in the fridge and put them to bake just before you wish to have them/ serve them. This concept is also good to prepare ahead of time and keep which can save last-minute hassles during a get-together or a reunion etc where we can spend more quality time together while the oven creates the magic for the moment!
Happy Cooking!
