Some days nothing beats a good enchilada. No hay nada mejor que una buena enchilada.
Javier is getting ready to leave for a week, so he asked me what I wanted for dinner last night. I've been sick with a cold, so I figured I'd better think fast while he was still here to cook and making such an offer. I don't know why, but enchiladas came to mind. ENCHILADAS ROJAS DE QUESO seemed like a good idea since we had so much cheese in the refrigerator that we needed to eat before he left, and Javier makes a great red sauce (salsa roja) from scratch.
These have got to be the easiest thing to make once the sauce is ready, and, by the way, you can also buy red enchilada sauce in a can. It's out there, and some of it is not half bad. We grated up a queso fresco, heated some corn tortillas, rolled the cheese into the tortillas, and then ladled the red sauce over the enchiladas.
While they were heating in the oven and the cheese was melting a bit, we made some guacamole and shredded some lettuce to go on top. Sometimes we eat enchiladas with rice and beans, but last night we just ate them with the guacamole on top and to the side. They were a great dinner for the end of the week; for Lent; and (once again) for using up what's left in the refrigerator!
