📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The name comes from "enchilar," meaning to season with chili. Tortillas filled with chicken or cheese are covered in red or green chili sauce, topped with cheese, and baked — a slightly more involved dish often made for Sunday lunch or when guests come over.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Sunday afternoon: the family gathers after church, and everyone digs into a hot dish of enchiladas fresh from the oven, served family-style.
