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.

actually burritos aren't even Mexican.
just my .02 worth


You're right, just like fajitas and a lot of other things thought to be
Mexican. However, burritos have made their way into Mexico because of
tourists and Mexicans returning home that liked them here. Where's
burritoman when we need a history lesson?
