I am looking foor some good enchilada recipes. Any one has got an idea on
where to find them ?

Enchiladas aren't complicated at all. The item of interest to me is exactly
what is an enchilada? Answer, it's *anything* covered with chili sauce, but
most folks are familiar with the humble tortilla, filled with meat or cheese
and covered with red chili sauce...

Main Entry: en·chi·la·da
Pronunciation: "en-ch&-'lä-d&
Function: noun
Etymology: American Spanish, from feminine of enchilado, past participle of
enchilar to season with chili, from Spanish en- [1] en- + chile chili
Date: 1887
1 : a rolled filled tortilla covered with chili sauce and usually baked

You can fill them with cheese or you can cook some ground beef in a frying pan,
and drain it, while you are softening your store-bought frozen corn tortillas
in a pot of hot oil...

When the tortillas float to the top, take them out and drain them on a paper
towel until they are ready to be filled and rolled with whatever you're going
to put inside...

You could use chicken or pork or ground beef or shredded beef. I have had beef
enchiladas that tasted very much like the corned beef that comes in little cans
from Argentina..

A little bit of enchilada sauce inside the tortilla will help spice up the
meat...

Maybe you might want to put some chopped onions inside the tortilla with the
meat or cheese, or just pour the canned red enchilada sauce over the rolled
tortillas and sprinkle the onions, some shredded cheese, and a few chopped
olives on top...

Bake the whole enchilada for however long it takes to melt the cheese...
