Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or beef for your enchiladas.
  • If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them before filling and rolling them. You can do this by microwaving them for a few seconds or by briefly dipping them in hot water.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in your enchiladas for a more complex flavor. A good combination is cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco.
  • Don't overstuff your enchiladas, or they'll be difficult to roll and may fall apart when you bake them.
  • For a crispy enchilada, fry them in a pan with a little oil before baking them.
