Rethinking The Enchilada




Today on Tonia's Kitchen, we talk about a classic staple of Tex-Mex cooking, the Enchilada! Master Chef and Restaurant owner Cappy Lawton stopped by to talk about some of the creations he's working on at Cappy's La Fonda on Main and Cappyccinos in San Antonio, Texas...which you could describe as the capital of great Tex-Mex cooking!  Cappy, who's the author of the new cookbook Aztec to Tex-Mex told Tonia about his Enfrijoladas...a different take on the enchilada, and one that could be very healthy, thanks to the recipe's use of black beans.  But one thing that makes Enfrijoladas truly special is the use of the avocado leaf.  Cappy told Tonia that the leaf's flavor is unusual, but most people love it one they try it.  Take corn tortillas, dip them in special black bean sauce, put chicken inside and roll it up.  Enjoy!, oh Cappy says don't forget the Queso Fresco!
