Enchilada Recipes - Authentic New Mexico Food and More

If you're anything like me, you can't get enough good enchilada recipes. This versatile dish just seems to say "Mexican food," perhaps more than any other, and the Mexican food lovers I meet all seem to have their all-time favorites.

Just think about it: You have chicken enchilada recipes, as well as ones that include beef, pork, shrimp and other seafood. Some enchilada recipes have no meat at all, but which still include one or more from a wide assortment of cheeses. There are enchilada recipes for vegetarians which forgo the meat - and even the cheese - altogether, although admittedly, these wouldn't be included among my all-time favorites. For me, a "real" plate of enchiladas must have at least a generous serving of cheese - with all respect to you vegetarians out there.

Plus there's a nearly endless array of toppings and fillings: red, green, and yes, cream sauces, and the many variations upon those (can you say chicken enchiladas suizas?) You can use avocado, black (ripe) olives, as well as cilantro and sour cream - I'm getting very hungry right about now, and I'm only scratching the surface - how about you?

Anyway, I think you're beginning to see that if you're looking for great enchilada recipes, you've come to the right place. However, I'll admit it right up front: I'm a bit of a Mexican food snob! I grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and - together with many family members and friends - regard it as having the best Mexican food in the world. As far as I'm concerned - and I've eaten "Southwestern"/Mexican food in many parts of the world - the places that serve authentic Mexican food are few and far between.

But I expect to have some dissenters on this. Well, my blog is now up and running (see link below), so don't be shy to post your comments, and even your own enchilada recipes. Together, we'll have some fun, share some great recipes, and hopefully discover some great Mexican food together.

In fact, I've found a nice collection of Mexican food recipes, including some very good enchilada recipes. I've yet to try them all and obviously, you'll find quite a bit more than just enchilada recipes, but it looks like a winner to me so far. If you decide to try it, please let me know what you think - yet another subject to comment on in my blog. Thanks in advance!
