This was paired with chicken enchiladas in a new cookbook that I have - The Best of America's Test Kitchen 2007. While the enchiladas didn't whet my appetite, the quick sauce caught my eye; namely, no chili powder as an ingredient. Looks simple enough for me.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated cheese. Pre-packaged shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make your enchiladas gummy.
  • Don't overfill your tortillas. You want to be able to roll them up without breaking them, so only add about 1/4 cup of filling to each tortilla.
  • Bake your enchiladas in a hot oven. This will help them to get crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
  • Let your enchiladas rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve your enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.
