Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Cook your chicken ahead of time: You can save time by cooking your chicken in advance. This can be done the day before or even a few days before. Simply shred the chicken and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses. A blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack is a classic choice, but you can also try using queso Oaxaca, queso fresco, or even goat cheese.
  • Don't overstuff your enchiladas: Too much filling can make your enchiladas difficult to roll and eat. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per enchilada.
  • Bake your enchiladas covered: This will help the cheese melt and the flavors meld together.
  • Serve your enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de Gallo.
