Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your enchiladas the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. There are endless possibilities when it comes to enchiladas, so feel free to add your own personal touch.
