Notes
- Make ahead of time. Assemble the enchiladas as directed, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Make a freezer meal. Prepare the enchiladas as directed and place them in a disposable aluminum pan. Do not bake, wrap the entire pan tightly with plastic wrap and again with foil. Freeze for up to 30 days. Thaw it in the fridge and bake according to the directions, or bake it directly out of the freezer.
- To bake from frozen, remove foil and plastic, then place the foil back on top. Bake, covered for 1 hour, then remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes.
- STORE. Divide leftovers into individual portions and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. For large amounts of leftovers, place in a baking dish, cover, and heat at 325°F until warm throughout.
