  • Use a large skillet: This will ensure that you have enough space to cook all of the ingredients without overcrowding the pan.

  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is what really gives this dish its flavor, so choose one that you like. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes enchiladas so delicious and gooey. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Enchiladas are delicious on their own, but they're even better when topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
