1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (20 ounce) can enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your enchiladas. Choose fresh vegetables, tender meat, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overcook the tortillas: Overcooked tortillas will become tough and chewy. Heat them just until they are pliable enough to roll without breaking.
  • Fill the tortillas evenly: Don't overload the tortillas with filling, or they will be difficult to roll and eat. Aim for a thin, even layer of filling.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't just stick to cheese and sour cream. Experiment with different toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, diced tomatoes, or sliced avocado.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the tortillas are heated through.
