Enchilada Salvadoreña
Salvadoran fried corn tortillas with finely chopped pork, curtido, tomato sauce, cheese and egg.
About Enchilada Salvadoreña
Celina presents these enchiladas as part of Salvadoran gastronomy. Thin fried corn tortillas carry finely chopped pork and a generous collection of vegetable, cheese and egg toppings.
Achiote gives the tortilla base colour. Garlic, onion, green chilli, clove and black pepper season the pork, while vinegary curtido contributes a contrasting vegetable crunch.
Tomato sauce, grated cheese, tomato slices and hard-boiled egg complete the open presentation. Each tortilla holds its own layered serving, with the curtido providing a bright contrast to the savoury meat.
