Tips:

  • Use a flavorful filling. The filling is what makes enchiladas so delicious, so be sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. Some popular fillings include shredded chicken, beef, or cheese, as well as beans, vegetables, and spices.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. If you overfill the tortillas, they'll be difficult to roll and they may break. Aim to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is another important element of enchiladas. You can use a variety of sauces, including tomato sauce, mole sauce, or green chili sauce. Be sure to choose a sauce that you enjoy and that will complement the filling.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they're bubbly and hot. This will help to melt the cheese and heat the filling through.
