Mexican Crepes
This very simple Mexican version of enchiladas is easier than making tortillas as well as being quicker! Very tasty all the same. Arriba!
We love our Mexican food at Tenina.com and we love our crepes and pancakes too! This one was inevitable and we think you will love the combination.
I honestly think if you were in Mexico you may expect to find this as a breakfast dish of some sort but there would be less crepe and more tortilla happening. But we are encouraging you to go hard with this recipe and use it for any meal. You could skip the shredded chicken part if you wanted to go vegetarian or meatless. A poached egg would top it off well.
We have added polenta or cornmeal to the batter just to give a bit more body to the crepe. So what are you waiting for? Put this one on your list!
