Today in the magic kitchen enchiladas! The Spanish word 'enchilada' means 'to add chili pepper to' or literally 'to season or decorate with chili'. Translated, “enchilada” means soaked, rubbed, or dipped in chile sauce. I love the variety of what you can roll inside an enchilada and the different sauces you can smother your enchiladas in. You can add any kind of vegetable and/or protein, beans, cheese… whatever you like. There are green and red chili sauces, cheese sauces, and more. The enchilada is quite a versatile staple of the cuisine.

This recipe is not Mexican street food. This is Tex-Mex; the Mexican food most Americans my age grew up eating. Hard corn taco shells, store-bought taco seasoning, ground beef, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. It is one of my favorite comfort foods.

The ultimate comfort food. It is an entire meal in one tray of yummy goodness. All the food groups are represented and necessary to make one feel fabulously full and satisfied. It’s actually also quite easy to make and assemble. There are shortcuts you can make without skimping on flavor. And there are so many variations in ingredients that you can use. You can substitute traditional lasagna noodles with sliced zucchini, or squash, or any number of traditional noodle substitutions A creamy white vegetable lasagna or a chicken Alfredo lasagna are a couple of different options we can explain another time, in another video, but in this video, the old school lasagna that most of us know and love is the star.
