There are two types of fat in foods, saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats contain fewer calories and less saturated fat than saturated fats. They also have a lower tendency to cause cancer. There are four main types of unsaturated fats: mono-unsaturated fats, poly-unsaturated fats, omega-3, and omega-6. Enchiladas are a good source of monounsaturated fats.
Make Your Own Enchilada Sauce
This is my favorite kind of enchilada, and it’s also one of the easiest to make. The secret to making it is to use a small amount of tomato sauce and a good amount of enchilada sauce. Most people don’t have good enchilada sauce on hand, and using regular tomato sauce is too thick. Start by browning the ground beef in a pan. Once it is almost fully brown, add the onion and garlic, and continue cooking until it is softened. Add the taco seasoning mix and stir until it is well mixed. Next, add the enchilada sauce, tomato sauce, and water, and then stir until the water is mostly absorbed. Add the corn, beans, and cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted.
