Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen Prepares for National Enchilada Month
Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 21, 2014 -- Sylvia Casares, owner and executive chef of Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen will be celebrating National Enchilada Month this year throughout May by offering a Culinary Tour of the Texas and Mexico border via a Parilla of Enchiladas, The North (Tex-Mex) or The South (Mex-Mex).
A Parilla of Enchiladas consists of four petite signature enchiladas that are served with rice, beans and a picamole salad, for $16.75 per person, plus tax and gratuity. For more information or reservations, please call 281-679-8300.
“People often ask me, what is Tex-Mex?” said Casares. “I believe Tex-Mex is the first regional fusion cuisine in America. When the Europeans came to Texas, they brought with them cattle and yellow cheese. Come those items with Mexican cuisine, and you get Tex-Mex.”
Casares, who is often affectionately referred to as the “Enchilada Queen,” sees the Parillas as her culinary enchilada road trip.
“My enchiladas reflect the different cooking traditions found on the Texas-Mexico border, in Texas and in Mexico. From McAllen to Lubbock, Crystal City to Sarita, Mexico City to Puebla, these are the authentic Tex-Mex (border cuisine), Tex-Tex-Mex (north of the border) and Mexican (south of the border) style enchiladas,” said Casares. “And they are worth driving for!”
