Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken instead of ground beef or adding black beans for a vegetarian twist. If you prefer a spicier kick, add jalapeños to the filling. For a creamier texture, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream. Remember to warm the tortillas slightly before filling to prevent tearing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these enchiladas with a side of Mexican rice, such as Arroz Con Pollo, and a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, or avocado for extra flair. Pair with a refreshing beverage like horchata or a light beer to enhance your dining experience.

Store leftover enchiladas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for quicker reheating.
