About Enchiladas Placeras Michoacanas
Enchiladas placeras are a Morelia speciality from Michoacán. Rogelio’s version, shared by Chef Joanna, combines guajillo-coated corn tortillas with shredded chicken and a fresh-cheese-and-onion filling.
The guajillo sauce carries garlic and the chicken’s cooking broth. Fresh cheese and crema add dairy richness, while onion and lettuce give the plate a fresh contrast.
Folded tortillas rest on lettuce beside softened potatoes and carrots. Cheese and cream top the layered plate, with avocado offered as an optional garnish.
