Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen Celebrates National Enchilada Month
Houston, TX (PRWEB) May 01, 2015 -- Sylvia Casares, owner and executive chef of Sylvia’s Enchilada Kitchen, and the National Spokesperson for the Enchilada, will be celebrating National Enchilada Month throughout the month of May.
“People are always asking me ‘What is Tex-Mex? What’s the difference between Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine,’” stated Casares. “The best way to explain the difference is by letting them taste that difference!”
Casares continued, “I believe that Tex-Mex is the first regional cuisine in North America. When the Europeans came to the Americas, they brought cattle, and then later the settlers brought yellow cheese. Combine these ingredients with popular Aztec food items, like masa, tomatoes, chilies and peppers, and you get Tex-Mex. The enchiladas I serve at my three restaurants 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. Tex-Mex (north of the border) and Mex-Mex (south of the border) style enchiladas.”
That is why Casares created The North and South Parilla of Enchiladas, each showcasing four petite signature enchiladas, served with rice, beans, picomole salad and, during the month of May, a slice of Chocolate Tres Leches, for $16.75 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Reservations for parties of six or more are required. For more information, please call 281-679-8300.
