Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling and rolling them.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your enchiladas will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, and high-quality cheese.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: When filling your tortillas, be sure to leave some room at the edges so that you can roll them up tightly. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and will likely fall apart.
- Cook the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the enchiladas are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Serve the enchiladas immediately: Enchiladas are best served hot out of the oven. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
