Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Fillings

    In separate bowls, prepare your choice of fillings. For shredded chicken, simply use pre-cooked chicken and shred it with a fork. For ground beef, cook it over medium heat until browned and drain excess fat. If using black beans, rinse and drain them.

  2. 2

    Prepare Sauces

    If using store-bought enchilada sauces, pour both the red and green sauces into separate bowls. If you prefer homemade sauces, prepare them according to your recipe.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla, fill it with a choice of shredded chicken, ground beef, or black beans (about 1/4 cup of filling), and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat until all 24 tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish.

  2. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are assembled, pour the red and green enchilada sauces evenly over the top. Sprinkle any remaining shredded cheese on top of the sauce.

Baking

  1. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with sour cream and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
