Ingredients
While the original Mexican Enchiladas are typically made with corn tortillas and filled with various ingredients, Argentinian-style Enchiladas take a unique approach. In this adaptation, we use flour tortillas and fill them with a delicious combination of grilled beef, chimichurri sauce, and melted cheese. The result is a mouthwatering blend of flavors that pays homage to both Mexican and Argentinian cuisines. We alse have the original recipe for Enchiladas, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

- Chimichurri sauce — Adjust the amount according to your preference for spiciness and tanginess.
- Grilled beef — Slice it thinly against the grain for a tender and flavorful filling.
- Mozzarella cheese — Use a good quality cheese that melts well for a gooey and delicious result.
- Onion and bell peppers — Sauté them until they are soft and slightly caramelized to enhance their flavors.
Tips & Tricks
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapenos or red chili flakes to the filling.
- Customize the filling by adding other ingredients such as black beans, corn, or avocado.
- Serve the enchiladas with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole for an extra burst of flavor.
- For a lighter version, use lettuce wraps instead of flour tortillas.
- Leftover enchiladas can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick and delicious meal the next day.
Serving advice
Serve the Argentinian-style Enchiladas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Accompany them with a side of Mexican rice and a crisp green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the enchiladas on a platter, placing them seam-side down to showcase the filling. Drizzle some extra chimichurri sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant and appetizing presentation.
