Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. 
  • Spray a 9x13” casserole pan with nonstick spray. Add ½ cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan and spread evenly (use enough sauce to cover the bottom of the pan). 
  • If using corn tortillas, warm the tortillas wrapped in a damp paper towel in microwave for 30 seconds. This will make them more pliable and easy to roll. 
  • Coat the inside of a tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce. Add ¼ cup of meat and a ¼ cup of cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking pan seam side down. Continue until all tortillas have been filled.
  • Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the prepared enchiladas. Spread any leftover taco meat on top of the enchiladas and then cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until hot and cheese is melted. Let rest on counter 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Storage: You can refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Reheat: To reheat the enchiladas, you can use an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes, or place them in a hot oven for 10 minutes. The microwave works too, but the tortillas can get a little extra soggy.
