We've been dying for good Mexican food. Yes, you can find Mexican in Shanghai, but it's fancy Mexican, in restaurants with nice tables and chairs, made by Chinese cooks. It's not good, dirty Mexican (and I mean that in the best possible way). I've been spoiled with authentic burritos and tacos and quesadillas for most of my life -- what can I say?
So we took it upon ourselves to make enchiladas at home one evening. The challenge, yet again, was finding all of the ingredients. Here's where we went:
- Yasmin's, the butcher, for chicken (as close to organic/grain-fed/cage-free as we're going to get here)
- Avocado Lady for veggies, a jar of jalapenos, sour cream and corn tortillas (we had to buy a pack of about 50 and freeze what we didn't use)
- Enchilada sauce from City Shop for almost $4/can (there'd be outrage at home for that kind of price for a canned good!)
- Cheese at Pines, the slightly cheaper City Shop (aka, foreigner-friendly market)
The result was so tasty, we made them again the following week.
