Beef enchiladas have a rich history dating back to the Aztecs, who wrapped fish in corn tortillas and covered them with chili pepper sauce. This dish evolved over centuries, with the Spanish introducing beef to the Americas, leading to the creation of beef enchiladas as we know them today. In modern times, renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy have popularized beef enchiladas, incorporating their own unique twists. The best beef enchiladas can be found in regions like Mexico City, where traditional recipes are cherished.
