Assemble the Enchiladas
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top, and roll it up. Place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat this step for all tortillas.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, making sure to cover all the enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
