enchiladas
Rolled Mexican dish
Enchiladas are a Mexican dish of tortillas rolled around a filling—typically meat, cheese, or beans—and covered with chili sauce.
The dish is baked until the sauce soaks into the tortillas.
We ordered chicken enchiladas with green sauce.
The whole enchilada means the entirety of something: They wanted the whole enchilada—house, furniture, everything.
