Notes
- Spread the sauce over the inside of the tortilla before rolling or dip the tortilla in the sauce before filling.
- Place the tortillas seam side down as you roll them.
- Bake just until heated through so the tortillas don't become soggy.
- To Make Ahead: Assemble this casserole and refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking.
- Freezing (Uncooked): Assemble and freeze up to 3 months before or after baking. Ensure it's covered in a layer of plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Preheat the oven to 350°F and cook for 30 minutes or until heated through.
