Enchilada

It's one of the most popular Mexican dishes. Enchilada is a corn or flour tortilla (chapati) rolled around a filling and covered with a chilli pepper sauce, topped with cheese and baked. Sauce can be red, green or white. Enchiladas can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including meat, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables or combinations. I made this one with canned tuna and my own blend of red sauce.
