Cheese Enchiladas FAQ
Cheese enchiladas are enticingly customizable yet can seem daunting to many, particularly due to the intricate process of making the chili sauce and the potential for the tortillas to fall apart during cooking. Common mistakes include using the wrong type of tortilla (flour instead of corn), not warming up the tortillas before rolling, using cheese that doesn't melt well, or not using enough sauce. To get the most out of your dish, choose high-quality, melt-friendly cheese and fresh ingredients for your sauce. For an extra flavor boost, consider sautéing your onions before adding them to the mix. You can also top your enchiladas with garnishes like fresh tomatoes, verde sauce, chopped onions, lettuce, or crumbled queso fresco. A little-known tip: Pre-frying your tortillas for a few seconds can make them pliable and less likely to tear during the process. And if you're up for a twist, experiment with different kinds of cheese in your enchiladas.
