Breakdown of niche Russian car making Mexican scoff (9)
I believe the answer is:
enchilada
'mexican scoff' is the definition.
I know that 'mexican' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns
'breakdown of niche russian car' is the wordplay.
'breakdown of' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'breakdown' mean this).
'russian car' becomes 'Lada' (Soviet Union car brand).
'niche' anagrammed gives 'enchi'.
'enchi'+'lada'='ENCHILADA'
'making' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "Mexican food" , "spicy titbit" , "Mexican dish" , "Tortilla with meat and chilli" , "Hot food" .)
