Cheese Enchiladas

Cheese Enchiladas

EverydayCooked

Cheese enchiladas are a traditional Mexican dish featuring corn tortillas rolled around a melted cheese filling and baked in a savory chili-based sauce. This protein-rich meal derives its calcium content from cheeses like queso fresco or cheddar, while the sauce contributes bold flavor but often adds significant sodium. Typically served with rice or beans, enchiladas balance soft, tender tortillas with a rich, slightly spicy profile characteristic of authentic regional cuisine.
