We know that the yellow brick road leads to The Emerald City of Oz, but maybe—just maybe—we can click our ruby red slippers, so it can take us to Jalisco, Mexico instead this time. Why, you ask? Well, our very own Chef Scarleth has been relishing in her childhood memories of trips to Mexico by recreating the Sweet and; Savory Enchiladas that originate from Jalisco. This nostalgic recipe fills a Grain Free Almond Flour Tortilla with a turkey picadillo and tops it off with a sweet and savory mole negro sauce that is made with almond butter, dark chocolate, cinnamon, raisons, chicken stock, peppers, garlic, and onions. This dish wouldn’t bring back memories without crumbled queso fresco crumbled on top, of course. There’s no place like home afterall, right? Enjoy!
