¿Qué es esto? ¿Enfrijoladas?
Look back on the blog to enchiladas, and you'll find that they are corn tortillas with a filling - pollo, queso, vegetales - and the sauce consists of something with chile.
Look back on the blog to entomatadas, and you'll find that they are corn tortillas with a filling (same as above) - and the base of the sauce is mainly tomato.
Look at the picture of the ENFRIJOLADAS and you'll see that the sauce is made from - frijoles! I had these for the first time in Morelia while staying in the home of Señora Betty (her real name was Elsa), and she enjoyed cooking all kind of vegetarian meals in between an occasional dish that featured meat. When she fixed ENFRIJOLADAS for us, I had never heard of them before, so she explained that they were similar to an enchilada but had a sauce made from frijoles. The sauce is, of course, thinner than frijoles that you'd eat on a plate, and can be thinned down with chicken stock or cream. The ones she made for us in Morelia were so simple with a cheese filling, and she served them with a mixed vegetable (maiz, calabaza y cebolla) on the side.
We had some leftover chicken from the grill the other day, so we shredded it for the inside of our ENFRIJOLADAS. Javier had never had these before, and had been acting like he just wasn't sure what I was doing or why I was doing it. I kept telling him - calmado - let me do my work! It paid off because he ended up eating 5 of them. ¡Salieron deliciosas!
