  • Choose the Right Tortillas: The type of tortillas you use can make a big difference in the final product. Look for corn tortillas that are fresh and pliable.
  • Don't Overfill the Tortillas: When you're filling the tortillas, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to roll up and may fall apart.
  • Use a Good Sauce: The sauce is what really makes enchiladas special. Use a sauce that you love and that complements the other ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Enchiladas: Enchiladas are best when they're cooked just until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking can make them dry and tough.
