Notes

These enchiladas are best served warm and can be garnished with fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or a dollop of sour cream. Pair them with a simple side salad or some Mexican rice for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C).
