Enchiladas

Enchiladas have been a Mexican favorite for hundreds of years and there are many delicious varieties from the different regions of Mexico. You can find the more traditional sauces such as red colorado sauce or a three-chile sauce of guajillo, pasilla and colorado, and there are others such as suizas made with a white/yellow cream based sauce, verdes made with green chiles, enfrijoladas made with refried beans, enmoladas made with mole, and entomatadas made with tomato sauce.

Enchiladas are a dish we see year round but they are a Lent favorite for many. Make a date with your family to make and enjoy enchiladas together. Invite someone over to join you.

Entomatadas

Enchilada salsa too spicy hot for one of our family members? Not to worry, try entomatadas. You make them the same way you make an enchilada but you substitute tomato sauce for the enchilada sauce. Try it! its another option for a great meatless meal this Lent. Find delicious meatless, Lent recipes on Lent Week Button.
