A post elsewhere mentioned potato and carrot enchiladas. I had never heard of such a thing and loved the idea enough to try it.

Make a standard guajillo sauce and fry it.
Dice and boil the potatoes and carrots.
Drain the potatoes and carrots and toss them in a pan with some of the enchilada sauce.
Fry the tortilla in the sauce, assemble and top with lettuce and queso fresco.

I am normally a no lettuce Mexican food person but every recipe I found that wasn’t AI generated had the lettuce so I figured it was necessary and if people of Michoacán where determined to use lettuce then I would do it for them.

Yeah, it’s gotta have the lettuce. Not cabbage. It adds the exact right amount of texture and brightness. Now I need to figure out what to do with the rest of this head of lettuce because I’m not a fan of it in American food either.

Cost per person: $3.61 Can you order this anywhere? Not anywhere near me.

    leftover lettuce makes a great addition to smoothies - just toss it in with some fruit and you’ll never taste it, but get all the nutrients (plus it uses it up before it goes bad in the fridge lol).
