Hmmm, so a wet burrito is an enchilada?


Technically, a wet burrito is an enchilado, according to that dictionary
definition I previously posted...

Now I am thinking about making some shrimp enchiladas in a mild green chili
sauce, and I have to select a mild Mexican-style cheese that won't over-power
the taste of the shrimp...

Recently, I have dined on camarones en salsa verde, camarones diablos, and
camarones rancheros in various Mexican restaurants and I was amazed that even
the spicy diablo sauce didn't seem to hide the distinctive flavor of nice fresh
juicy jumbo shimp...

But I think using sharp cheddar cheese in my shrimp enchiladas would definitely
be too strong. Maybe some spicy Monterey Jack with jalapenos?

I'm not afraid to experiment. I don't need no steenking recipe...

Remember one thing, the dictionary definition for enchilada preceeded
the burrito, I'll bet, and trying to make all new things fit under an
older regime is refusing to face a paradigm change.

Interesting that the wet burrito, according to pulido, ceases to be a
burrito and now is merely an enchilada.

Right.
