Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheese. A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack is a classic choice, but you could also try queso Oaxaca, queso fresco, or even a sharp cheddar.
  • If you're using canned enchilada sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some spices. A little bit of chili powder, cumin, and oregano will go a long way.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas, or they'll be difficult to roll and will fall apart. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per enchilada.
  • Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the sauce is hot and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
