Enchiladas can be filled with various ingredients, including meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables, or combinations.

==Etymology==
The [[Royal Spanish Academy]] defines the word ''enchilada'', as used in Mexico, as a rolled [[maize]] [[tortilla]] stuffed with meat and covered with a [[tomato]] and [[Chili pepper|chili]] [[sauce]].<ref name="Royal Sp Academy Dictionary">{{cite encyclopedia |encyclopedia=[[Diccionario de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española|Diccionario de la Lengua Española, Vigésima segunda edición]] |title=enchilada |url=http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=enchilada |access-date=25 July 2008 |publisher=Real Academia Española |isbn=84-670-0317-0 |year=2003 |language=es |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |archive-date=4 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081004231436/http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=enchilada |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Styles Carvajal |first1=Carol |first2=Jane |last2=Horwood |first3=Nicholas |last3= Rollin |name-list-style=amp |title= Concise Oxford Spanish Dictionary: Spanish-English/English-Spanish |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780198609773/page/253 253] |url= https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780198609773 |url-access=registration |quote=enchilada. |isbn=9780198609773 |year=2004}}</ref> ''Enchilada'' is the past participle of the [[Mexican Spanish]] ''enchilar'', "to add [[chili pepper]] to"; literally, "to season (or decorate) with chili".<ref name="Royal Sp .Academy Dictionary2">{{cite encyclopedia |encyclopedia=[[Diccionario de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española|Diccionario de la Lengua Española, Vigésima segunda edición]] |title=enchilar |url=http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=enchilar |access-date=9 September 2010 |publisher=Real Academia Española |isbn=978-84-670-0317-8 |year=2015 |language=es |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |archive-date=9 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609221329/http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltConsulta?TIPO_BUS=3&LEMA=enchilar |url-status=live }}</ref>

==History==
Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to [[Aztec civilization|Aztec]] times.<ref name="zeldes">{{cite web |last=Zeldes |first=Leah A. |title=Eat this!

Writing at the time of the Spanish conquistadors, [[Bernal Díaz del Castillo]] documented a feast enjoyed by Europeans hosted by [[Hernán Cortés]] in [[Coyoacán]], which included foods served in corn tortillas. (Note that the native [[Nahuatl]] name for the flat corn bread used was ''tlaxcalli''; the Spanish gave it the name ''tortilla''.)<ref name="HistoryA">{{cite web|url=http://food.oregonstate.edu/ref/culture/mexico_smith.html |title=Tacos, Enchilidas and Refried Beans: The Invention of Mexican-American Cookery |access-date=14 July 2008 |publisher=Oregon State University |work=Mexican References Food And Culture |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070718154326/http://food.oregonstate.edu/ref/culture/mexico_smith.html |archive-date=18 July 2007 |url-status=dead |df=dmy }}</ref><ref name="History">{{cite web |url=http://www.iccjournal.biz/StudentScholars/Undergraduate/history_of_mexican_cuisine.htm |title=History of Mexican Cuisine |access-date=9 July 2008 |first=Margaret |last=Parker |date=12 October 2006 |work=Inner City Conservative Journal |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081017034655/http://www.iccjournal.biz/StudentScholars/Undergraduate/history_of_mexican_cuisine.htm |archive-date=2008-10-17 |url-status=usurped}}</ref><ref name="History2">{{cite web |url=http://www.mexicanmercados.com/food/foodhist.htm |title=A Thumbnail History of Mexican Food |access-date=9 July 2008 |first=Jim |last=Conrad |website=Mercados: Traditional Mexican Markets (blog) |date=<!--undated--> |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705092347/http://www.mexicanmercados.com/food/foodhist.htm |archive-date=2008-07-05 |url-status=usurped}}</ref><ref name="History3">{{cite web |url=http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Tortilla_Taco_history.htm |title=History of Tortillas & Tacos |access-date=14 July 2008 |first=Linda |last=Stradley |publisher=What's Cooking America (blog) |date=<!--undated--> |archive-date=5 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705091928/http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Tortilla_Taco_history.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> The [[Nahuatl]] word for enchilada is ''chīllapītzalli'' {{IPA|nah|t͡ʃiːlːapiːˈt͡salːi|}}, which is formed of the Nahuatl word for "chili", ''chīlli'' {{IPA|nah|ˈt͡ʃiːlːi|}} and the Nahuatl word for "flute", ''[[tlapītzalli]]'' {{IPA|nah|t͡ɬapiːˈt͡salːi|}}.<ref>{{cite book |last=Karttunen |first=F. |year=1983 |title=An analytical dictionary of Nahuatl |publisher=University of Texas Press |page=52 |isbn=0-8061-2421-0}}</ref> In the 19th century, as Mexican cuisine was being memorialized, enchiladas were mentioned in the first Mexican cookbook, ''El cocinero mexicano'' (''"The Mexican Chef"''), published in 1831,<ref name="zeldes"/> and in Mariano Galvan Rivera's ''Diccionario de Cocina'', published in 1845.<ref name="HistoryA"/><ref name="TacoInvention">{{cite journal |last=Pilcher |first=Jeffrey |date=Winter 2008 |title=Was the Taco Invented in Southern California? |journal=[[Gastronomica]] |volume=8 |issue=1 |pages=26–38 |publisher=[[University of California Press]] |location=[[Berkeley, California]] |doi=10.1525/gfc.2008.8.1.26}}</ref>

==Outside of Mexico==
===Costa Rica===
In [[Costa Rican cuisine|Costa Rica]], the enchilada is a common, small, spicy pastry made with [[puff pastry]] and filled with diced potatoes spiced with a common variation of [[Tabasco sauce]] or other similar sauces. Other variations include fillings made of spicy chicken or minced meat.<ref>{{cite web |title=Enchilada: Another Costa Rican Paradise |url=https://www.quericavida.com/recipes/enchilada-another-costa-rican-paradise/d4a77cc3-eede-453a-86a1-81077b36f5b6 |website=Qué Rica Vida |access-date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=19 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019070044/https://www.quericavida.com/recipes/enchilada-another-costa-rican-paradise/d4a77cc3-eede-453a-86a1-81077b36f5b6 |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Honduras===
In [[Honduran cuisine|Honduras]], enchiladas look and taste very different from those in Mexico; they are not corn tortillas rolled around a filling, but instead are flat, fried, corn tortillas  topped with ground beef, salad toppings (usually consisting of cabbage and tomato slices), a tomato sauce (often ketchup blended with butter and other spices such as cumin), and crumbled or shredded cheese. They look and taste much like what many people call a [[Tostada (tortilla)|tostada]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Honduran Enchiladas |url=https://www.quericavida.com/recetas/enchiladas-hondurenas/0dea3c93-def4-41f7-825b-00c44a6c5d66 |website=Qué Rica Vida |access-date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=19 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019070031/https://www.quericavida.com/recetas/enchiladas-hondurenas/0dea3c93-def4-41f7-825b-00c44a6c5d66 |url-status=live }}</ref>
[[File:Honduranenchilada.jpg|thumb|left|75 px|Homestyle Honduran enchiladas]]

===Nicaragua===
In [[Nicaraguan cuisine|Nicaragua]], enchiladas are different from the other ones in Central America and resemble those in Mexico; they are corn tortillas filled with a mixture of ground beef and rice with chili, they are then folded and covered in egg batter and deep fried. It is commonly served with a cabbage and tomato salad (either pickled salad or in cream and tomato sauce). The Nicaraguan enchilada resembles the [[empanada]] of other countries.<ref>{{cite web |title=Receta de la Enchilada Nicaragüense |url=https://recetasdenicaragua.com/gastronomia-nicaragua/enchilada/ |website=recetasdenicaragua.com |language=es |access-date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=20 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221020004740/https://recetasdenicaragua.com/gastronomia-nicaragua/enchilada/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Guatemala===
In [[Guatemalan cuisine|Guatemala]], enchiladas look much like Honduran enchiladas but the recipe is different. This version most commonly begins with a leaf of fresh lettuce, then a layer of 'picado de carne,' which includes meat (generally ground beef, shredded chicken, or pork) and diced vegetables (carrot, potato, onion, celery, green bean, peas, red bell pepper, garlic, bay leaf, seasoned with salt and black pepper). The next layer in the recipe is the 'curtido' layer which includes more vegetables (cabbage, beets, onions, and carrots). After this is two or three pieces of sliced hard boiled egg, then thin sliced white onion, and finally a drizzle of mild red salsa. The dish is topped with either queso seco or queso fresco and garnished with [[cilantro]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Receta para hacer Enchiladas guatemaltecas |url=https://aprende.guatemala.com/cultura-guatemalteca/cocina/receta-para-hacer-enchiladas-guatemaltecas/ |website=guatemala.com |date=17 November 2016 |language=es |access-date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=19 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019065824/https://aprende.guatemala.com/cultura-guatemalteca/cocina/receta-para-hacer-enchiladas-guatemaltecas/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
