A delicious combination

In particular, Salvadoran Enchiladas are the result of combining cooked corn ground (use corn flour) to make a dough worked with chicken broth, butter, and achiote to achieve orange coloring and flavor the dough naturally, forming the tortillas to fry them in hot oil until golden brown.

Ready to enjoy, you can enhance their flavor and decoration by adding mashed beans to the tortillas and accompanying them as a filling with shredded chicken breast or diced beef steak, covering them with some pickled (e.g., chopped cabbage, carrot, jalapeño chili, garlic, pepper, cilantro, and vinegar) and adding hard-boiled eggs, cucumber slices, tomato, onion, lettuce, peppers (red, yellow, or green), exquisite olive oil, and grated cheese (preferably mozzarella).

More Variants

Others add a variety of sauces, avocado, salads, or creams. In some places, inside and outside of El Salvador, they use substitute and industrialized ingredients, such as jalapeños or Maseca flour... fine.

Among the favorite drinks to enjoy a tasty Salvadoran Enchilada are horchata (coconut or morro), natural juices (orange, tamarind, hibiscus, barley, arrayan, or mango) or soda. Preferences also include hot drinks, such as coffee, chocolate, or some kind of atol.
