Notes
- Warm the tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Avoid over-saturating the enchiladas with sauce to keep the texture from becoming soggy.
- Use freshly grated cheese for better melting and texture.
- Let the baked enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving to help them set.
