Serving Tips
• Serve the enchiladas hot, straight from the oven for the best texture.
• Add toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, avocado, or jalapeños.
• Pair with Mexican rice, refried beans, a fresh salad, or chips and salsa.
• Drizzle extra enchilada sauce over the top if you like them extra saucy.
• Serve with lime wedges for a bright, fresh finish.

Storage Tips
• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through or microwave in short intervals.
• To freeze, assemble the enchiladas without baking, cover tightly with foil, and freeze for up to 2 months.
• Bake frozen enchiladas at 375°F for 40–50 minutes or thaw overnight and bake normally.
• Store extra enchilada sauce separately to keep tortillas from getting soggy.
