Tips:
- Use shredded chicken: Shredded chicken is the most common filling for enchiladas, and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken. You can also use rotisserie chicken or canned chicken.
- Make your own enchilada sauce: Enchilada sauce is easy to make at home, and it's much tastier than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for enchilada sauce in the article.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Mexican cheese blend is a good choice for enchiladas, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
- Don't overfill the enchiladas: If you overfill the enchiladas, they will be difficult to roll and they will fall apart when you bake them.
- Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown: The enchiladas should be baked until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
