Instructions

  1. Prepare Potato and Chorizo Filling: Use leftover cooked potatoes mixed with chorizo as the filling for the enchiladas.
  2. Prepare Salsa: Remove stems from serrano peppers, then cook serrano peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic together until soft. Grind the mixture without adding water to keep it thick.
  3. Prepare Enchilada Sauce: Remove seeds from guajillo and ancho peppers. Boil peppers with onion and garlic until softened. Let cool, then grind with a little salt. Fry the ground sauce in hot oil until well cooked and flavorful.
  4. Assemble Enchiladas: Dip corn tortillas in the prepared red chili enchilada sauce. Fill each tortilla with the potato and chorizo mixture, then roll and place on a plate.
  5. Add Toppings: Top the enchiladas with fresh lettuce, crumbled fresh cheese, and the prepared serrano pepper salsa as desired.
  6. Serve: Serve the enchiladas warm, optionally with salsa on top according to taste.
