Enchiladas have pre-Hispanic origins, with evidence suggesting the Aztecs wrapped small fish in corn tortillas. The modern enchilada evolved over centuries, incorporating Spanish influences like cheese and meat.

The dish features a savory combination of melted cheese, a rich chili sauce with a slightly spicy and earthy flavor, and the soft, yielding texture of corn tortillas. The simple ingredients create a satisfying and comforting experience.
The primary flavors are derived from the cheese (typically cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend), providing a creamy and slightly sharp taste. The chili sauce, often made with dried chiles, cumin, garlic, and other spices, contributes a complex, warm, and sometimes slightly smoky flavor. The corn tortillas offer a subtle sweetness and earthy base. The El Fenix style leans towards a smoother, less chunky chili sauce and a generous amount of cheese.

Cheese Choice
Experiment with different cheese blends to find your preferred flavor profile. A combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack is a classic choice, but Pepper Jack can add a spicy kick.
Chili Sauce Consistency
Adjust the thickness of the chili sauce to your liking. Simmering it for a longer period will result in a thicker sauce.
Tortilla Preparation
Lightly fry or steam the tortillas before filling them to prevent them from breaking when rolled. This adds a slight char and suppleness that makes the enchilada more enjoyable.
Toppings
Garnish with chopped onions, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor and texture.
