  • Pour remaining can of enchilada sauce over top;sprinkle with remaining one cup of cheese.
  • Bake uncovered 30 minutes or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.
  • Serves 6-6 I have doubled this recipe before- experiment around with the enchilada sauce-- I prefer one can of green sauce and 1 red sauce-- but you can use whatever you like-- also you can add more cheese on the top-- these really are yummy!
  • hope ya like them-- also you can use the hot enchilada sauce instead of the mild, we just use the mild because of my kids-- they love this recipe-- not to spicy for them.
