Entomatadas

Entomatadas are a classic Mexican dish made with corn tortillas, queso fresco, and a mild and tasty tomato sauce. It’s a quick and comforting meal ready in 30 minutes!
I discovered entomatadas later in life thanks to my sister, and honestly, I can’t believe it took me so long to try them. Growing up, my mom always made us her amazing cheese enchiladas with homemade authentic enchilada sauce, but my sister was the one who introduced me to entomatadas, and I was instantly hooked.
What I love about them is how simple and approachable they are. The sauce is just tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, and a few spices, but the flavor you get is incredible – bright, fresh, and comforting without being spicy. It’s basically enchiladas’ milder cousin, which makes them perfect for kids or anyone who doesn’t love a lot of heat.
These days, they’re one of my go-to comfort meals. They feel special, but they come together in under 30 minutes, and everyone at the table is happy.
