"enchilada" news and stories

Is there anyone on the planet who doesn't love enchiladas? Kitchen Daily contributor Ruth Cousineau has created a vegetarian Enchilada Casserole that delivers the flavors you're after: corn tortillas stuffed with refried beans, sweet corn kernels, and queso fresco. An addictively spicy sauce made from ancho chiles lends just enough spice to make things interesting.

Today for lunch, my sister and I did something we don't do very often. We went to an Italian restaurant. Italian just isn't one of my favorite cuisines. After a minute of looking at the menu, she asked me what cannelloni was, at which point I realized I had no idea. Imagine my surprise when I got home and found this post from Baker's Banter. It's a how-to on Sara Moulton's (Sara's Secrets) version of cannelloni, which uses crepes rather than pasta sheets. It looks incredibly delicious, and would probably make a great, easy, special dinner.

According to this article in Wikipedia, cannelloni can be made with either pasta sheets or crepes and still be considered correct. It was really interesting to learn about this dish, especially since it found me rather than the other way around. It occurred to me that cannelloni is similar to baked enchiladas. Now I'm curious if there are similar recipes from other cuisines. What do you think?
