  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your enchiladas will taste. Use fresh crab meat, vegetables, and cheese.
  • Make your own enchilada sauce: Homemade enchilada sauce is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for enchilada sauce in the article.
