Notes
- Ensure that you properly season the beef or chicken before cooking to enhance the flavor of the enchiladas; using spices like cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder can significantly elevate the dish.
- When assembling the enchiladas, make sure to roll them tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish to prevent them from unrolling during baking, and cover them with enough sauce and cheese to keep them moist and flavorful.
