On the eve of National Margarita Day, I want to know: what's your preferred order at a Mexican restaurant?

Ever since I made them baked in tomato sauce, I can't stop craving eggs. In the style of huevos rancheros, this recipe combines eggs with refried beans and corn tortillas.

Instead of baking them, the eggs are cooked in a spicy enchilada sauce. Topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of sharp cheese, these Mexican-inspired eggs are one uncomplicated, but wildly gratifying meal.

Can't make your way to Mexico?

Can't make your way to Mexico? Take a hiatus with a Monterrey-inspired meal. While the basic chicken enchilada recipe calls for salsa verde, which often already includes roasted poblano chiles, the second recipe requires roasting the peppers yourself. Don't be intimidated by the task —it's as simple as holding the poblanos for a few minutes over a flame and then peeling off the charred skin — but this roasting technique adds another complex layer of flavor to an already delicious dish.

Monday's Leftovers: What Would You Do With Leftover Enchiladas?

When I decided to write about enchiladas for last night's Sunday Dinner, I wasn't totally sure how I would spin them into Monday's Leftovers.

When I decided to write about enchiladas for last night's Sunday Dinner, I wasn't totally sure how I would spin them into Monday's Leftovers. You could always reheat them and enjoy them again, however I was hoping to find something a little more exciting. One of the things I thought of — I haven't tried it, but I thought it could be interesting — was to puree the remaining enchiladas (only if they were prepared meatless) and use it as a sauce for either a homemade pizza or a pasta sauce. I thought something like that might be great accompanying a scramble. What do you think? How would you turn leftover enchiladas into something new? Tell us your ideas in the comments below.
