Enchiladas Suizas

"GREEN" enchiladas are called "Enchiladas Suizas".

Actually green enchiladas are made with a green chile sauce. Enchiladas Suiza are made with a creamy white sauce and sometimes include a green chile sauce.

The previous post is not correct

Enchiladas suizas literally means "Swiss enchiladas" which are elaborated using Swiss cheese. Ryandward (talk) 00:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What the RAE supposedly claims

Also the entry claims that the Real Academia Espanñola says that enchiladas contain a slice tomato... this is not true either.

"Tortilla de maíz enrollada rellena de carne y cubierta de salsa de jitomate con chile." - RAE this means "A stuffed corn tortilla rolled with meat and covered with tomato sauce and chile (or tomato-and-chile sauce)".

Enchiladas aren't just a mexican dish

They are also centro american

--Actually, I was about to mention that enchiladas are actually a texmex dish. It was never a staple in mexican diet until the late 1800s when it was first published in an american cookbook, under the advice of a mexican-american woman from texas.

--"Enchilada" actually means "in chile" and enchiladas were nothing more than a corn tortilla dipped in chile sauce, rolled up tighlty and eaten. This is how they originated in Mexico. The cheesier stuffed American versions came later. Mexicanfood 04:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects

Enchiladas (with a 'S') should also redirect here. 165.230.46.147 21:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Origin

How come there is nothing about the origin of the dish?the juggreserection 15:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Figures of Speech

Not sure this belongs in a Food article, so moved it here from the main article for further consideration and discussion:

Figures of speech

As enchiladas are a very simple dish to prepare, the phrase "éstas no son enchiladas" (these are not enchiladas) is used, tongue in cheek, in Mexico City to refer to something that is not simple. This phrase is commonly used in response to impatient complaints. The enchilada also has its place in English slang, in the phrase "the whole enchilada," which means "everything."

Needs More Photos

Needs photos for green, red and New Mexico "stacked" versions. I'm working on creating and uploading some, but please feel free... Geoff (talk) 15:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Enchilada referenced in the song Mambo Italiano

I came to the wiki page to find out about the Enchilada and to learn the what, where, and how it is prepared. The song Mambo Italiano references the Enchilada in one of its stanzas Try an enchilada with da fish a bac a lab and then a. I was always intrigued by this line as I NEVER heard or seen an Italian dish variation of the enchilada (corn isn't really a staple of Italian food) and Cuba, being the origin of the Mambo/Rumba tradition isn't known even having Enchilidas. Now, I know that the song isn't even written by a person of Italian descent and I guess he was playing with stereotypes from both the Italian and Hispanic cultures, so I guess it's safe to assume that he got his cultural references mixed as he was trying to fuse both Cuban and Italian musical sensibilities. --71.189.61.155 (talk) 09:30, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Costa Rica Enchalada

The picture looks like a beef wellington, and the description sounds like it. Maybe its just a local name, but not sure it should be on the enchalada page... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.174.48.30 (talk) 17:27, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moved this online Spanish recipe for "Enchiladas Guatemlatecas" from the Costa Rica section here. It really doesn't meet WP:V and it does not appear to be a Costa Rican enchilada recipe. Still need a better source for the Costa Rican variety. Geoff ^{Who, me?} 23:40, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Entomatadas

Hi. I have updated the Entomatadas article a bit and was hoping to find someone here that might be able to add something about the history of those. --ElisabethS (talk) 19:28, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flour tortillas

What is an enchilada called if it is made with a flour tortilla instead of a corn tortilla? It would be like a burrito, but with enchilada sauce. Researching burrito... aha! Apparently it is called a "wet burrito". Perhaps we should include a link to this nearly identical dish? 67.237.31.251 (talk) 21:31, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added wikilink to "wet" burrito under the "See also" section of the article . Geoff ^{Who, me?} 22:58, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
