Bring home the flavours of Mexico, with these authentic Corn Enchiladas. Soft and succulent pancakes are stuffed with a luscious mixture of corn and veggies in white sauce.

You will love the cheesy layer, which gives way to creamy, tangy enchiladas that will excite your taste buds and satiate your tummy!

Corn Enchiladas are satiating on its own but if you wish team it up with a bowl of Tomato, Cabbage and Bean Soup or Mexican Rice for a complete meal feel.
