Notes
Can you make them ahead?
Yes, you can assemble the enchiladas a day in advance to bake later. If you do this, you may need to add some more enchilada sauce on top before they go in the oven. The tortillas will absorb it, so add a little more so they’re nice and saucy! How long do leftovers keep?
Store them in an airtight container and they will keep well for up three to four days in the fridge. What else can you add to enchiladas?
You can add black beans, pinto beans, or other beans that you like. Add chopped cilantro to the filling or diced veggies like onions and bell peppers. Just keep in mind, the more you add the more enchiladas you’ll get!
