Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some minced garlic with the ground beef while cooking. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can use diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. For a healthier alternative, try using ground turkey instead of beef. You can also substitute the tortillas with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
Serving Suggestions
These enchiladas go well with a side of Arroz Rojo (Red Rice) and a fresh green salad for a complete meal. Consider serving them with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. They also pair beautifully with Mark And Richard'S Quick Salsa Chicken for a festive dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the enchiladas in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For a quick option, you can use a microwave, heating them in short intervals until warmed.
