Food chain deal founders (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enchilada

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
(enchilada is a kind of food)

'chain deal founders' is the wordplay.
'chain deal' anagrams to 'ENCHILADA'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "spicy titbit" , "Mexican food" , "Tortilla and chilli dish" , "Hot food" , "spicy food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
