Sister's Red Chile Enchiladas

My Asian Cabbage Wraps

Before I saw a picture of my sister's, what she called 'quickie' enchiladas, I was feeling accomplished with my Asian Cabbage Wraps.  Lots of fresh ginger and garlic along with Hoisin sauce made these special.  Instead of lettuce cups, I blanched Savoy cabbage leaves until tender but still firm enough to be a vessel.  Somehow this made the wraps more substantial and memorable.  The spicy punch of the meat mixture, along with crunchy peanuts, went so well with the delicate subtlety of the cabbage.  Plus you get an extra serving or two of vegetables which is never a bad thing.

However in the rock, paper, scissor game world of food, I'm pretty sure enchiladas trump wraps any day of the week.
