Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe vegetables and high-quality cheese and meat. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your enchiladas.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: Tortillas should be soft and pliable, but not mushy. Overcooked tortillas will break easily and won't hold the filling well.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce: The sauce is what really brings the enchiladas together, so it's important to use a sauce that you like. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is one of the key ingredients in enchiladas, so don't be afraid to use plenty of it. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 cup of cheese per 12 enchiladas.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the tortillas are cooked through.
