enchilada
Sauced tortilla roll
An enchilada is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla rolled around a filling—typically meat, cheese, or beans—and covered with chili sauce.
The phrase the whole enchilada means everything, the entire matter: They wanted the whole enchilada, not just a partial settlement.
A big enchilada is an important person.
