An enchilada is a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a savory sauce. Enchiladas can be filled with various ingredients, including meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables, or combinations.
Tomatillos and spicy peppers are commonly roasted and then blended together to form salsa verde, a green sauce used as a condiment to many dishes including enchiladas.
