I haven't had a seafood enchilada since Chi-Chi's closed on 306. Yummo!

That's where the recipe came from.....their Cancun Enchiladas.

I thank you for the recipe, but know I'll never make em.
You know why? They'll never taste the same or have the same atmosphere at home as they do on the carts or the little cafe restaurant I first had them.
Thank you for the memories :mrgreen:

I've bought lobster base. The brand name is "Better Than Bullion". It comes in a jar and can usually be found with the bullion cubes, etc. If your store carries the brand, they can probably get you the lobster flavor if you ask.

I order mine through Minor's. None of the grocery stores around here carry any kind of seafood base.

wow, homey! yummo!

i've had these in mexican restsaurants as enchiladas vera cruz. oddly enough, a little toasted garlic works well in this.

[homecook]

Thanks bucky! I'll have to give the toasted garlic a try next time.
