Smoky minced beef enchiladas with tomato salad

The tradition of rolling food into tortillas has existed for centuries. According to research, the Mayans were among the first people to make what resembles what we call enchiladas today. At the time it was simply corn tortillas immersed in chili sauce. As the Spanish conquerors arrived, they learnt the recipe and added other ingredients to it. Later, in the 19th century, the dish found its way into American culture and became one of the staple dishes for the so called Tex-Mex cuisine.
