Since enchiladas are an extremely versatile meal, they can be prepared with a number of different ingredients that most find quite tasty, including goose meat. The filling is a simple mixture of onions, red bell pepper and sliced goose seasoned with a blend of fragrant spices. Roll the flour tortillas around the filling, cover in the savory red enchilada sauce, top with cheese and cilantro and bake until bubbling hot.
With my goose enchilada recipe, you’ll be able to fool anyone into begging you for a second serving.
No goose in the freezer, no problem. Substitute 6 duck breasts in place of the goose meat.
