Nail ached, having broken dish (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enchilada

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

'nail ached having broken' is the wordplay.
'having broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nail'+'ached'='nailached'
'nailached' anagrammed gives 'ENCHILADA'.

(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "Rolled stuffed tortilla with chilli sauce" , "spicy food" , "The whole ___ -- everything (US)" , "Tortilla and sauce, meat" , "Mexican tortilla with chilli" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
