Enchiladas rojas — tortillas arrotolate in salsa di peperoncino
A cornerstone of Mexican home cooking: corn tortillas lightly fried to soften, dipped in a warm red chile sauce, rolled around a filling of shredded chicken or cheese, then topped with more sauce, crumbled cheese, onion and crema. Enchiladas rojas are comforting, saucy and endlessly adaptable — the red sauce, built from dried chiles rather than powder, is what makes them sing, and they come together fast once that sauce is made.
