===Costa Rica===
In [[Costa Rican cuisine|Costa Rica]], the enchilada is a common, small, spicy pastry made with [[puff pastry]] and filled with diced potatoes spiced with a common variation of [[Tabasco sauce]] or other similar sauces.

===Honduras===
In [[Honduran cuisine|Honduras]], enchiladas look and taste very different from those in Mexico; they are not corn tortillas rolled around a filling, but instead are flat, fried, corn tortillas  topped with ground beef, salad toppings (usually consisting of cabbage and tomato slices), a tomato sauce (often ketchup blended with butter and other spices such as cumin), and crumbled or shredded cheese. They look and taste much like what many people call a [[Tostada (tortilla)|tostada]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Honduran Enchiladas |url=https://www.quericavida.com/recetas/enchiladas-hondurenas/0dea3c93-def4-41f7-825b-00c44a6c5d66 |website=Qué Rica Vida |access-date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=19 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019070031/https://www.quericavida.com/recetas/enchiladas-hondurenas/0dea3c93-def4-41f7-825b-00c44a6c5d66 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In [[Nicaraguan cuisine|Nicaragua]], enchiladas are different from the other ones in Central America and resemble those in Mexico; they are corn tortillas filled with a mixture of ground beef and rice with chili, they are then folded and covered in egg batter and deep fried.

===Guatemala===
In [[Guatemalan cuisine|Guatemala]], enchiladas look much like Honduran enchiladas but the recipe is different. This version most commonly begins with a leaf of fresh lettuce, then a layer of 'picado de carne,' which includes meat (generally ground beef, shredded chicken, or pork) and diced vegetables (carrot, potato, onion, celery, green bean, peas, red bell pepper, garlic, bay leaf, seasoned with salt and black pepper). The next layer in the recipe is the 'curtido' layer which includes more vegetables (cabbage, beets, onions, and carrots). After this is two or three pieces of sliced hard boiled egg, then thin sliced white onion, and finally a drizzle of mild red salsa. The dish is topped with either queso seco or queso fresco and garnished with [[cilantro]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Receta para hacer Enchiladas guatemaltecas |url=https://aprende.guatemala.com/cultura-guatemalteca/cocina/receta-para-hacer-enchiladas-guatemaltecas/ |website=guatemala.com |date=17 November 2016 |language=es |access-date=19 November 2020 |archive-date=19 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221019065824/https://aprende.guatemala.com/cultura-guatemalteca/cocina/receta-para-hacer-enchiladas-guatemaltecas/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
