FAQ

Q: What are some tips for making enchiladas?

A: Here are a few tips for making enchiladas:

• Use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. Corn tortillas are more traditional and will make your enchiladas more flavorful.
• Don’t overfill the tortillas. If you overfill the tortillas, they will be difficult to roll up and they will break apart when you bake them.
• Use a baking dish that is large enough to hold all of the enchiladas in a single layer. If the enchiladas are stacked too high, they will not cook evenly.
• Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If the cheese is not melted, the enchiladas will not be as flavorful.
