Tips:

For a spicier enchilada, use a hotter variety of chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
If you don't have enchilada sauce, you can make your own by simmering tomatoes, chili peppers, onions, and spices in a saucepan until the sauce has thickened.
To make your enchiladas even more flavorful, try marinating the chicken or beef in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you're short on time, you can use store-bought tortillas instead of making your own.
Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking your enchiladas. This will help them cook evenly.
For a cheesy enchilada, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top before baking.
Serve your enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.
