Notes -
Enchiladas sound amazing. So difficult to get good Mexican food here, although there appears to be a recent taco boom in Japan (they say メキシカンタコス/mekishikantakos to not be confused with タコ/tako or octopus) There's a place in Osaka that has a one-month wait to get in, but no taco is worth that amount of time for me. I'm biding my time for the interest to wane or Instagram to be glutted. And Oaxaca cheese! Couldn't find it for love or money in Kansai (possibly Tokyo?)
Oaxaca is great, but you can definitely replace it with low skim mozzarella in most applications. My mom is mexican, so I tend to make a whole variety of enchiladas on different occasions. My two true favorites though are probably the simple ones. Shredded rotisserie chicken, sour cream, a melty white cheese with good pull, wrapped in a corn tortilla, topped with either ranchero sauce or dona rosa mole + chicken stock + chipotle onion paste. I finish the red with shredded cheese and the mole with more sour cream. As far as I'm concerned, its simply the best easy weeknight casserole dish out there.
I would love to visit Japan eventually. We'd considered it for a honeymoon, but after doing Italy a few years ago my wife and I were tired of planning, so we opted for an Alaska cruise instead. We'll be leaving in 11 days :)
