New deal with China to supply spicy food (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enchilada

'spicy food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new deal with china' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'deal' put after 'china' is 'chinadeal'.
'chinadeal' anagrammed gives 'ENCHILADA'.

'to supply' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for enchilada that I've seen before include "Tortilla with meat and chilli" , "spicy dish" , "spicy food" , "Filled tortilla served with chilli sauce" , "Mexican food" .)
