Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in hot water before filling and rolling.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: Otherwise, they'll be difficult to roll and will likely fall apart.
- Use a variety of fillings: This will make your enchiladas more flavorful and interesting. Some popular fillings include shredded chicken, beef, beans, potatoes, and cheese.
- Be generous with the sauce: Enchiladas should be smothered in sauce. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and golden brown: This usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
