Ingredients

While the original Mexican enchiladas are typically made with corn tortillas and filled with spicy meats and beans, Bavarian Enchiladas feature a Bavarian twist. The corn tortillas are replaced with soft pretzels, and the filling consists of savory Bavarian sausages, sauerkraut, and tangy mustard. The dish is then topped with a creamy beer cheese sauce, adding a rich and indulgent element. We alse have the original recipe for Enchiladas, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

Soft pretzels — To maintain their softness, wrap the pretzels in aluminum foil before baking.
Bavarian sausages — Use traditional Bavarian sausages such as Weisswurst or Bratwurst for an authentic flavor.
Beer cheese sauce — If you prefer a milder flavor, use a lighter beer in the cheese sauce.

Tips & Tricks

For a spicier kick, add a dash of Bavarian hot mustard to the filling.
Serve the Bavarian Enchiladas with a side of tangy sauerkraut salad for a refreshing contrast.
If you can't find soft pretzels, you can use pretzel rolls or even Bavarian bread rolls as a substitute.
Customize the beer cheese sauce by adding a pinch of paprika or caraway seeds for extra flavor.
To make the dish more Bavarian, serve it with a side of potato salad or potato dumplings.

Serving advice

Serve the Bavarian Enchiladas hot, straight from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Pair with a cold Bavarian beer to complete the experience.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Bavarian Enchiladas on a platter, allowing the golden beer cheese sauce to cascade over the pretzel sandwiches. Sprinkle some additional sauerkraut on top for an attractive garnish.
