Never had an enchilada before, so maybe it would be worth a try in soup form. 🙂
Where do you get Masa Harina? Sounds good!
In the grocery store.
Soup! I like it! You replied to Batty "In the grocery store", but "what" is masa harina? And what does it "look like"? (is it a spice, a vegetable, a sauce, etc.) Thank you!
It is a traditional Mexican flour. It is in a bag like any other flour. I found it in the flour section at WalMart.
What a unique soup. Lovely tradition to let them pick their birthday meal.
I've never had enchilada soup before. Sounds intriguing. Thanks for sharing on the Merry Monday linky party.
