Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips

How do I freeze these?

After preparing your enchiladas, place them in the fridge until they are completely cool.  If you cover them while still warm the steam with get trapped and create that crusty white layer of ice over the top when it freezes causing freezer burn.  Once totally cool place a layer of saran wrap directly on the top of the enchiladas.  Follow with either a layer of freezer tin foil or two layers of regular tin foil.  Label and put in the freezer.  Use within 6 months

What can I serve with these enchiladas?

Enchiladas are one of those dishes that you want some good sides that kind of mix in or blend in well.  Chili Lime Rice and Restaurant Style Refried Beans (Instant Pot) are excellent choices.   Add some fresh romaine and Pico De Gallo and you've got yourself the perfect dinner!

    These enchiladas are a family favorite and so easy to make if company is coming.
    These freeze well. You can also add black beans if your family likes them.
