Mexican food is one of my favorite foods and because there are so many different varieties, I found myself hard pressed to choose just one dish. It's all so delicious! The more I thought about it, the more I wondered just what is it about Mexican food that makes it so irresistible? Mexican food has personality. It has that 'kick it up a notch', let's eat, dance, and have a margarita kind of mood setter quality to it. Mexican food is spicy, daring, and holds the true flavor of the southwest borderlands. Best of all, Mexican food comes in three temperatures: mild, medium, and hot! hot! hot! Depending on the chiles used, of course.
If I had to choose a favorite dish it would definitely be cheese enchiladas. The flavor can vary depending on the region the recipe is from. For example, enchiladas in New Mexico are often made with blue corn,instead of yellow corn, and green chile sauce is the preferred sauce. In Arizona, the Sonoran style of enchiladas are more common. The enchiladas are usually made from white or yellow corn tortillas and a red chile sauce is used instead of the green sauce. Some enchiladas are made with chicken and some with beef, but I think the cheese enchiladas are the best. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor is robust and addicting. Enchiladas of any kind are most often served with a side of rice and beans (refried pinto beans). The best part is that they are simple to make.
