Los burritos y las enchiladas

Los burritos y las enchiladas
 

That depends on who you ask.
Based on past restaurant visits where Tex-Mex fair is served, enchiladas are made with corn tortillas and come with different fillings. Enchiladas are topped with a sauce. Enough can't be said. There are many versions.
Burritos are made with flour tortillas and come with different fillings. They aren't topped with a sauce. Again, enough can't be said.

The enchiladas are made with tortillas and a little of cream and it also is made with a little of chili.

At least in my country the enchiladas are an dishes very popular between the people near of the region.

oh I see :)

Have you eaten enchiladas before?

no I haven't.

The definitions of enchiladas and burritos are extremely different in the US as compared to in Mexico.

Enchilada (US) - a smallish (8'' diameter) wheat flour tortilla rolled up with a filling (cheese, chicken etc), doused in red chili sauce. (usually)
Enchilada (Mex) - a small (4'' diameter) corn flour tortilla, toasted on a grill and covered with chili sauce, cheese, lettuce etc, served open-face; OR the same corn tortilla, dipped in chili sauce and served folded in half and topped with ground white cheese.

Burrito (US) - large wheat flour tortilla (10"-12" diameter) filled with a variety of fillings (beans, cheese, rice etc).
Burrito/Burro (Mex) - Non-existent in most areas. In some areas it is synonomous with "taco".

Taco (US) - a taco shell (hard, corn-based-- resembles a fried tortilla folded in half and open about an inch) filled with ground beef, cheese, lettuce etc.
Taco (Mex) - a soft corn flour tortilla, open-face, rolled up, or folded over, with any of about 3,000 possible fillings. "Taco/taquito dorado" is a rolled up, deep fried corn tortilla, with many possible fillings.

For burritos you have to use a flour tortilla because if you use a corn tortilla then it is called a taco!

So, for the sake of argument a burrito is ALWAYS made with a flour tortilla.

A taco (hard or soft shell) can be made with a flour OR a corn tortilla but a hard shell taco is ALWAYS with a corn tortilla. If you get a hard shell flour (huge) taco it's probably a Taco Salad.

Taquitos are deep fried and are not to be confused with a Chimichanga! Taquitos are smaller and thinner whereas a Chimichanga is fatter.

Enchiladas are corn tortillas that are smothered in red or green sauce and can be filled with just cheese or with a zillion other ingredients.

THEY ARE ALL DELICIOUS!

Now that you are totally confused, please don't eat them everyday or you will look like a Chimichanga!

Ahora tengo hambre! Mi novia fue a Taco Bell ayer. ¡Necesito comida auténtica!

I have heard before about a restaurant named Taco Bell in U.S.A. But I don't know if here the food is very Mexican or only it's just a imitation.

Taco Bell's food is imitation and a creation of their own. Some things are good if you are desperate enough!

:D

Me gustan un poco de sus comida, pero no son la comida de Mexico.

No, no es comida auténtica. Pero a veces te satisface (satisfies?) el gusanito de comer comida Mexicana si no puedes comer la auténtica.

Es como comer "forzen yogurt" en vez de "custard".....:eek:

Por mi, la comida de Taco Bell hace a me quiero la comida auténtica más. Tengo un resturaunte Mexicana aqui que está muy delicioso (pero no conozco sí es auténtico).

Or you can say...Pero no sé si es auténtica la comida.

Sabes, hay una variedad de comida Mexicana que creo que uno nunca la va a conocer en su totalidad. También hay variaciones del mismo platillo dependiendo de qué estado de la República Mexicana sea. Por ejémplo el mole, hay cientos de variaciones pero el que más me gusta a mí es el mole Poblano (de Puebla).

¿Lo has probado?

¿Qué es la diferencia entre 'por' y 'para'? Los dos trasladan a 'for' en el diccionario. No creo cuando hago 'por' o 'para'.

¡Mole poblano está mi favorito! Me gusta cocer, pero no puedo hacer mole buen.

Elaina. Have you try the Cochinita pibil?

The differences are well defined. You can study up on the differences at a number of places. Here's one.

Hay un Taco Bell en México. Queda en Apodaca, estado Monterrey. ¿Hay alguien aquí que quiera llevar hielo a los esquimales?

Gracias. Creo querer usar 'por' porqué lo suena cómo 'for', pero yo veo es 'para' en esas situaciónas.
