Talk:Enchilada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"GREEN" enchiladas are called "Enchiladas Suizas".
Actually green enchiladas are made with a green chile sauce. Enchiladas Suiza are made with a creamy white sauce and sometimes include a green chile sauce.
[edit] Enchiladas aren't just a mexican dish
They are also centro american
--Actually, I was about to mention that enchiladas are actually a texmex dish. It was never a staple in mexican diet until the late 1800s when it was first published in an american cookbook, under the advice of a mexican-american woman from texas.
--"Enchilada" actually means "in chile" and enchiladas were nothing more than a corn tortilla dipped in chile sauce, rolled up tighlty and eaten. This is how they originated in Mexico. The cheesier stuffed American versions came later. Mexicanfood 04:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
