Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are generously covered. Then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
Baking
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.

- Dish out generous portions of the enchiladas and enjoy!
Notes
Substitute chicken with turkey or beef if desired. To save time, prepare the filling and roll the enchiladas ahead of time, and freeze them before baking.
