Enchiladas

These enchiladas with chile guajillo enchilada sauce paired with some rice are the perfect quick weeknight dinner. They’re also the perfect meal for a meatless monday!

In my mind there’s nothing better than a simple and delicious homemade meal.

These enchiladas made with chile guajillo sauce are NOTHING like the ones you get a a restaurant. They are way more authentic. Except for the mozzarella cheese.

But you know what, I know many Mexicans who use mozzarella cheese in their cooking.

Mozzarella cheese is my favorite cheese to use in enchiladas because it has a very mild taste. What I really want to taste is the guajillo sauce.

I feel that by using a mild tasting cheese the flavor of the sauce is really able to shine through. The sauce is very simple to make. The special thing about it is that it has a hint of chocolate to it.

Chiles guajillos are a very common type of dried chile that is popular in Mexican cooking.

I always keep these chiles in my kitchen. Dried chiles will keep for a long time.

I use the guajillo chile in many of my dishes such as pozole, pork tamales and many others.

I don’t find the guajillo sauce used for these enchiladas spicy at all.

However my friend tried them and she thought they were. She actually needed a glass of water while eating them!

It really surprised me cause I honestly don’t find them spicy.

It’s a good thing I didn’t serve her these other enchiladas I also make. These are EXTREMELY spicy but what can I say I LOVE spicy food!

I have a very yummy recipe for mexican rice that goes perfectly with these enchiladas.

Well I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s recipe.  I will be back soon! Thank you for reading! 🙂
