Enchilada Madness

Well I must say the enchiladas were fabulous. I have no idea how they would match up to "authentic" enchiladas prepared by a native of Mexico or are enchiladas even a real Mexican dish? Perhaps it's a TexMex thing. I made pinto beans, my friend made great Spanish rice and there was salad. Of course, I got carried away and made 3 different salsas: my world famous regular Salsa Fresca; a great roasted tomatilla salsa; and, although not of Hispanic nature, a mango salsa. Oh my, we were all stuffed.


But wait there was more. I couldn't resist making dessert. I thought of making Tres Leches cake but really didn't want a really difficult thing to prepare. I LOVE flan but making it can be tricky. Don't cook it too long or it gets weird, like tasty rubber. Don't under-cook it or you have a tasty gloppy mess (note: it's always tasty). I have a recipe for Citrus Caramel Flan. Using orange peel and lemon juice it calls for using individual custard cups to create cute little individual servings. It turned out well. I think it was a little over-cooked but still very good.
