Enchiladas Salvadoreñas are crispy fried corn tortillas topped with layers of seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg slices, curtido (pickled cabbage), tomato salsa, avocado, grated cheese, and radishes. Unlike their Mexican namesake, Salvadoran enchiladas are open-faced tostadas, served cold or at room temperature, and enjoyed as street food, snack, or part of a light meal, especially in San Salvador, Santa Ana, and local markets. The base tortilla is often colored with achiote and fried until golden for added flavor.
Common variations include vegetarian versions or topping with refried beans instead of meat.
