Miner's Enchiladas are a traditional dish from the state of Guanajuato. Since the colonial era, Guanajuato has been established as a mining town that is still the leading national producer of gold and the fourth of silver.

For the sauce, blend the cumin, guajillo chiles, oregano, and garlic with a little water. Fry with some lard in a skillet. Dip the tortillas in the sauce and fry them in hot lard, quickly filling and rolling them up. In the same fat, fry the potatoes and carrots. The enchiladas are arranged on a platter, topped with the fried vegetables, then the chopped lettuce (you can also use it as a bed if you prefer), sprinkled with grated cheese, and decorated with pickled chili strips.
