- Be sure to cook the chicken thoroughly before assembling the enchiladas. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Use a variety of cheeses in the enchilada filling. This will add flavor and richness.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo are all great options.
- Serve the enchiladas hot out of the oven. This will help the cheese to melt and the tortillas to stay soft.
