My mother, who is Portuguese, used to make enchiladas from hard boiled eggs just about like this, but added finely chopped onion and chopped parsley leaves. I do mine a little differently, using chopped cilantro instead of parsley. These are one of the favorite foods from my childhood. She got the recipe from a lady in Oakland, Ca in the 1920′s or 30′s.
This has been the basic enchilada recipe in the Munoz families for over 150 years in Calif. and is still going strong.
