Cheesy Enchiladas is From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 35 minutes. A mixture of chicken breast, tortillas, corn, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so scrumptious. To use up the salsa you could follow this main course with the Dessert Strawberry Salsa as a dessert. This recipe is typical of Mexican cuisine.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. One wine you could try is Willamette Valley Vineyards Whole Cluster rosé of Pinot Noir. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 20 dollars.
