While our enchiladas are in the oven, now is a good time to make all of our garnishes
that we're going to put on top of our enchiladas. I love shredded lettuce on top of my enchiladas.
When you get the nice cool crisp of it, the lettuce along with the hot enchiladas, it's
just a really good combination. The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to remove
the base of the ice berg lettuce. This is really easy to do. Some people don't like
doing this, but I do this all the time and it just works really well for me. What I'm
going to do is I'm just going to *** this little base on the cutting board so I can
loosen it. I'll be able to pull the whole thing out. It's just going to be like this.
What it has done is loosened it. I come with my hands now and just pull out the core. Obviously,
this is not edible so don't use that. Now I can work with my entire head very easily.
For this dish, we don't need very much because it is just a garnish. I'm going to do about
a quarter or so of our iceberg lettuce. I've got a quarter here. Incidentally, if you're
going to make a wedged salad, you're perfect and ready to go. You just need the bleu cheese
dressing. I'm just going to make thin long shreds of my lettuce. If you're not going
to use this right away, I would wrap it in a wet paper towel, place it a baggy, and place
it in your refrigerator. That'll help keep it nice and crisp. There's nothing worse than
soggy lettuce. Got one little piece here. Then we're going to place it on our plate
so our guests can add lettuce as they would like.
