Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, prep all your ingredients and set them out. Enchiladas come together quickly, and you don't want to be scrambling for ingredients while your tortillas are cooking.
  • Warm your tortillas: This makes them more pliable and less likely to crack when you roll them up. You can warm them in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, or on a hot skillet.
  • Use a flavorful filling: The filling is the star of the show in enchiladas, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of cooked meat, vegetables, and cheese, and season it well.
  • Don't overfill your enchiladas: Less is more when it comes to filling enchiladas. Overfilling them will make them difficult to roll up and they'll be more likely to fall apart when you bake them.
  • Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This usually takes about 20 minutes. If you're using a cheese that melts easily, like mozzarella, you can broil the enchiladas for a few minutes at the end to get a nice golden brown crust.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Enchiladas are delicious on their own, but they're even better with a few toppings. Try sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or Pico de gallo. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Italian-style enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They're a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect enchiladas every time.
