However, you can use green enchilada sauce to change the flavor up. I like them both!
You can use store bought or homemade enchilada sauce.

We like to use yellow corn tortillas because they hold up better. However, feel free to use what you prefer.

How do you Make Beef Enchiladas not Soggy:
The best way to keep from getting soggy enchiladas is to not add to much sauce. We recommend slowly adding the sauce to cover the enchiladas when placing in the casserole dish.
You can also slightly fry the tortillas to help prevent them getting soggy.
Can I Prepare Ahead of Time?
Yes, these enchilada store great in the fridge or freezer until you are ready to bake. If you would like to freeze your beef enchilada, we recommend freezing them uncooked.
Double the recipe and place one of them in the freeze. Place in a freezer safe container and wrap with aluminum foil. They will last about 3 months if stored properly.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Both flour and corn tortillas can be used for enchiladas, we like the flavor the corn tortillas give enchiladas.
When choosing a cheese for enchiladas, we recommend using a Mexican blend. This 4 cheese blends adds flavor and the best cheese for enchiladas.
To prevent your corn tortillas from falling apart, it is best to warm them up. You can also moisten them which makes them flexible to roll up in this beef enchilada casserole.
Yes they can. Cover and freeze. They will last 3 months
You can, but you will get a different outcome. Salsa and enchilada sauce have completely different flavors. While you can use salsa, the flavor will be different.

So easy to make and so delicious. Family loves these.
I love hearing that! Thank you for sharing!
Yummy yum yum! I made 4 pans. It’s all gone!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing!
This recipe was delicious and easy to make!
This was delicious, thank you!
Delicious and easy to make! Will definitely make this again!
You would have to change the tortillas for a keto friendly version for it to be more keto.
Is this a KETO ?
Yes corn enchiladas can be tricky. The trick is to make sure they are warmed up first. You can use flour tortillas too if you would like.
This recipe was tasty, but making it with corn tortillas was a disaster. Am I missing a secret here? Every tortilla I attempted to roll up fell apart, so it ended up being more of a enchilada casserole rather individual enchiladas. Debating on trying flour tortillas next time.
The flavor was really good! My husband thought they were really spicy (he has no tolerance), I didn’t think they were hot at all. Will definitely make again with maybe a few small changes!
Thanks so much! Yes, sometimes the corn tortillas are frustrating. I’ve noticed that white corn tortillas hold up better than the yellow corn.
Made these yesterday. Amazing. The only issue I had was the corn tortillas cracking when wrapping with filling. It did not effect taste, but was hard to serve nicely. Next time I will try frying them slightly and see if that helps. Served with mexican rice(great in the instant pot) and refried beans.
YAY! So glad you loved it too.
I made this tonight and everyone enjoyed them. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks Carrie!
I’m so glad you loved it!
This is fabulous but i use flour tortilla sorry i can give only 5 stars
I followed the recipe exactly. It tasted really good, but my tortillas kept falling apart while I tried to roll them up. I heated the enchilada sauce and dipped them like the recipe says. Did anyone else have this issue?
My boyfriend is a very picky eater and each time I make enchiladas he doesn’t want me to add any seasonings to the meat… well tonight I took the risk and made this recipe. Nervous on what he would say… he looked at me and pointed at his empty plate and said “Those were literally the best enchiladas I have ever had!”
Definitely making these again! Thank you!
A little bit hot for my taste but my dad loved it. I used flour tortillas because when I used the corn ones they cracked and broke up.
Great recipe, my family loves these enchiladas.
I always heat my tortillas in a skillet prior to dipping in the sauce & have no problem with them falling apart.
Tip: Dipping tortillas does work. Find a rythm.
It has a bit of a kick. I have an idea of how I’ll make it next time.
Over all good recipe for beginners too.
Made this last week for my husband, he loved it.Quick and easy to make and very tasty.Will share with my family.
Doris
I love Hispanic food but I have never been a big fan of enchiladas. This recipe is so good. It was a huge hit with the family. I will definitely be making it again.
Delicious!!!!!
I clicked on 2x the recipe because my son had friends over and followed instructions to a tee except I only chopped half an onion. The kids, friends, husband and myself loved it. My only issue was with the tortilla dipping in sauce step. I put several of the tortillas in the pan at one time and when I got to the bottom three they broke. This was my fault because I thought this would save time. This recipe will be going into our rotation because not only was it inexpensive, it did not take long and we had almost all the ingredients already!
Thanks for the recipe!
My corn tortillas completely fell apart when I tried to roll them (even warmed) as I have seen in other comments. Flour tortillas definitely work better if you’d like the rolled enchiladas. I love corn tortillas and just layered it like lasagna instead of trying to roll them up. Delicious!
Yes, you can.
Can you freeze these?
I would make this one mild as I don’t do well with much spice.
We ?? Mexican food! I like to put spanish rice mixed with refried beans and either beef or chicken in our enchiladas. Mexican cheese blend covers them prior to the oven. Spicy, but not TOO spicy; just enough for a real kick, but not enough for smoke to come out of our ears. We usually serve them with tortilla chips and Rotel cheese dip, along with a salad.
I would add chopped celery with onions to ground beef. This adds a little crunch and veggie that the kids don’t even realize is there. Also some jalapenos for my husbands who like heat.
The recipe looks good as is, would just garnish with lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole, I will probably use Bueno frozen “hot” red chile coz its easier than making it from the chile pods!!
I top enchiladas with sour cream, diced onions, tomatoes and lettuce.
The coolness of the vegetables an.d sour cream tastes great with the spicy of the sauce
I’m so glad you loved it!
Was lucky that I had the ingredients and this enchilada recipe was a perfect moment of cooking inspiration. I did add some chopped back olives. It was really good.
I would love this if is was a little spicer. I added chipotle pepper. Perfect and medium salsa, perfect. So good! Love all that you make!,??
I would top it with Mexican sour cream and jalapeños.
Made this last night with a couple of minor modifications. Since my wife and I like a little spice, I mixed 1 can mild and 1 can of medium enchilada sauce. She makes great Spanish rice, so that was a great side. Your recipe is awesome!
Looks yummy. I’d top them with guacamole!
We like a little spice and my additional toppings would be sour cream, lettuce and tomato

I would make these enchiladas non spicy and allow each person to add heat for their individual taste.
I like mine mild with lots of cheese and sauce
Easy looking recipe. Can’t wait to try it. Would go great with some tortilla chips on the side and sliced green onions on top.
I would add chopped red pepper to the recipe as well as some dried pepper flakes. To combat the heat, I would serve with refrigerated orange wedges.
I would top mine with more cheese, cilantro, green onion and maybe some salsa. Spicy! Side salad, black beans or maybe French fries
Making me hungry, yumm. I personally would make it more spicy. I would add jalapeños for spice. I love mushrooms so I would add that as well.
I add extra cheese inside and top with sour cream salsa lettuce tomatoes and onion delious
I like mild enchiladas best.
I like mild enchiladas best.
Recipe looked so good but was out of ground beef so I used what was on hand, ground chicken. I upped the seasoning a little bit & did everything else the same. Paired it off with your cilantro lime rice…such an amazing combination!
This sounds like a great dinner when feeding a crowd! Especially if you serve it with creamy refried beans and Mexican rice ?

I think this recipe was perfect for a quick weeknight meal. I would make my sauce more spicy with the addition of some type of chili pepper. I would probably chop up some jalapeños and add that to the ground meat with onions and garlic while it cooks. I think I’ll make this dish soon. Thanks for the reminder!
I also add a chopped green pepper to meat mix and I also top the meat with extra cheese inside. After it’s baked I top it with chopped tomatoes and sour cream.
I would serve with rice, salad, chips and dip.
I would serve with Mexican rice and refried beans.
I haven’t made these yet, but they sound delicious and easy to make. I would add a little pepper jack cheese and banana peppers in the meat mixture. But then I love both. Sour cream and some avocado to use as toppings sound good too.
This looks delicious and I’m eager to try it. I would make it with flour tortillas and serve it with refried beans and corn (or corn on the cob is in season now).

Looks Amazinging! I would make mine mild but will definitely make it. Yum ?
Campbell’s soup makes a great fiesta cheese soup which I use to top enchiladas or burritos. Will try your recipe- thanks
Top these with lettuce and sour cream. A little queso drizzle if you like. I like them a little spicy, but not too hot. Black beans would be a good addition. I serve it with homemade Mexican rice and restaurant knock-off refried beans.

I would make with Lazy day Cooking Clubs pork taco filling and also top with guacamole
This looks great! I’m going to serve it with freshly picked, chopped tomatoes on top!
This is a good recipe. I use the green sauce, avocado with cream cheese. Guacamole salad served on the side along with refried beans and Mexician rice. Pepperjack cheese mealted on top of the enchiladas right before serving ( stick in the oven on a low temp for a few minutes). Mild but if you like it spicy, why not chop some hot peppers really fine to either mix with the meat or stick on top with the cheeses. ( that way you can control the “heat” & it will be easy to leave a few W/O the peppers.)
I would love to put sour cream on top and love spicy
We would pick mild over spicy. And serve with sour cream.
Sounds yummy I’d make it mild top it with cheese tomato lettuce and a dollop of sour cream

Carrie – As with all your dishes, this looks so delicious! I’d put some chopped red onion and white queso on top. I live in Ok, but was born/raised in the northeast, so I don’t eat spicy foods, but still, I like flavor. I may add a little onion & garlic powder is all. Serve this with a roasted corn & black bean salad and some Fiesta saffron rice. My mouth is watering!
Green onions on top and serve with tortilla chips
I prefer green onions to raw white onions, so I would probably add those on top of the enchiladas. We prefer spicy. I would serve crock pot refried beans with the enchiladas. I love your recipes and so does my family! ??

Great recipe. I would keep mild for some family members with the option to add jalapeños for those of us that enjoy spicy. Definitely top with sour cream as well. Serve with some Mexican rice & my family’s refried beans. Perfect meal any day of the week.
These would be great with rice and corn crema
I must have some sour cream on top with a side of rice!
My great aunt taught me your technique of dipping the corn tortillas in the red enchilada sauce 65 years ago! This is the first time I have seen it done this way since. She always added chopped black olives, a little seeded jalapeño, cheese inside and on top, then bowls of toppings – sour cream, chopped green onions, and more jalapeños for the spicy lovers. Thank you for your recipes. We love getting your emails and have tried so many. ?
I like spicy everything! My favorite toppings are sour cream and guacamole. I would serve them with rice and beans.
I’d serve Mexican sauteed spinach with my enchiladas, and I’d make them medium spicy.
Exactly how I make mine! Always top with sour cream & salsa.
I would add jalapeños! My family loves them we try to incorporate jalapeño into everything we cook including eggs but most definitely a recipe like this! ?
I would flavor these mild. Unfortunately, I can’t tolerate hot or spicy food. These look delicious!
I love to make Enchilada’s spicy, loaded with sour cream and cheese…

I would add tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream to my enchiladas. Yum!
I would love to make this and top it with some sour cream and Avocado slices. I would definitely make it more on the mild side so I could enjoy all the wonderful flavors. I might even throw a little Chipotle powder in there for a hint of smokiness. I like to serve enchiladas with a bit of Cilantro Lime Rice and refried beans.
I think black olives would be delicious.
Serve with shredded lettuce, sour cream and salsa.
Love this recipe and the ease of it. I had to have my dollop of sour cream and I was all set.
My husband loves flour tortillas instead of corn. I will try this recipe next month. Thanks for the delicious meal. We like to top with sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes and other taco toppings.

Make this complete!

I enjoy putting sour cream and chives with onions on top of my enchiladas I also enjoy my enchiladas more on the mild side
Enchiladas are a hit with about anyone, of any age. We like to add lettuce, sour cream, and guacamole. Great stuff!
I typically make my enchiladas on the medium side…not too spicy, not too mild. That way others can spice them up with additional hot sauce (cholula is my pick). I serve black beans, fresh pico de gallo, Mexican rice, and guacamole as sides. If I’m having friends over, I will also make a pitcher of margaritas for “fiesta” time! YUM!
What a great recipe! It’s so versatile to whatever you have on hand and whatever flavors and ingredients your family likes.
For toppings I do those individually as I plate because our family has varied tastes. My BF and I like shredded lettuce, salsa, chopped tomatoes and salsa or verde sauce. One of my sons likes only shredded cheese and black olives and the other likes his super spicy with shredded cheese and jalepenos.
I have served this atop refried beans and rice too.
I would finish mine with a couple of over medium fried eggs on top with Pico de gallo! Buen provecho
Looks delicious, except I can’t eat spicey things as my tummy gets upset. I would however, add sour cream and a mixture of cheeses, paprika and green onions. Maybe some cucumber too!!! Yummy.
I would have rice and beans with this and maybe sour cream.. gonna make this real soon

Mine would be mild with a wonderful dallop of sour cream, and a Mexican pineapple soda to chase it all down!!
Looks and sounds delicious. I think I’d go with the spicy level as is until I taste it. A tablespoon of chili powder and the monterey jack cheese might be enough.
I love sour cream all spicy food (and I would spice this up just a little)
I love this recipe- everyone loves the flavors
I going to make enchiladas for dinner, I’m going to use this recipe, it looks delicious.

Hi I would put on top of my enchiladas like avocado ? some Verde salsa lettuce tomatoes ? clientro and more cheese ? and for the side to go with the enchiladas probably some Spanish rices ? or by it self either way it’s good regardless how u eat it
I would pur sour cream on them. Have to be non spicy. I would serve with red rice.
Mild is the best fit for my family. I would add some cilantro and a dab of sour cream. We usually serve with rice.
These enchiladas look amazing! I would top them with sour cream and Cholula sauce…and being a Wisconsin girl, I’d put cheese inside and out. 🙂 I’d go more on the spicy side, and I’d serve them with some homemade Mexican rice and refried beans! 🙂
I would put sour cream and salsa on top of my enchiladas I use your recipe in the Lazy Day Cooking Club for the slow cooker shredded beef enchilada casserole it is so good
Looks like an easy recipe! I’ll probably use 1 can of enchilada sauce and then some canned green chilis or my husbands favorite, Hatch Green Chiles in place of the 2nd can of enchilada sauce.
I like my encheladas spicy wit black olives on top or inside. I would serve them with a salad and refried beans
I usually eat beef enchiladas with refried beans and Spanish rice and top it with more shredded sharp cheddar cheese and black olives
I like my enchiladas mild. I serve them with a corn and zucchini side cooked with some chili verde salsa.
This looks like a very tasty recipe. I like spicy encheladas with olives on top or inside. Lots of cheese on top too!
I would use red enchilada sauce and have it mild and use pinto beans and rice
I would top with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions or chives. I would add jalapeños and black olives for my husband. I would serve Spanish rice on the side. Delish
Oooh, I love Mexican food! I love spicy all the way! Add some pickled hot okra on the top…extra pico & guacamole!Fiesta in my mouth!
I add black beans to my enchiladas
Love enchiladas with sour cream, chopped jalapenos, and fresh onions and tomatoes for toppings.
I would make mine spicy. I would put green onions and parsley on top. I would serve them with rice.
Looks Great! We top it with shredded lettuce, cheese & sour cream! We love serving with a side of bean dip & tortilla chips. We make it mild since we have little ones eating it with us.
We like ours spicy, so I usually add a can of diced chilies, or chop up a jalapeno if I have one on hand. Then top with sliced green onion and avocado.
This Enchilada recipe is a keeper! I have already pinned it to my Pinterest. I was going to get some ground beef today till I thought I have leftover Rotisserie Chicken. I can use that tonight instead.
Top with sour cream and more salsa, mild.
Refried beans and rice with them.
Yum ?
I could make them mild and I would add cilantro and jalapenos on top for the spice! Serve with charro beans and cilantro lime mexican rice and sopapilla cheesecake for dessert!!! YUMMY
These look and sound amazing!! I would add some guacamole and rice to the side and maybe top it with some sour cream and diced jalapenos ?
Oh I love this recipe ! I’d serve it up with a big ol’ salad ! I thing your Mexican Corn would clinch it ??
I like to add black beans (drained and rinsed) to my enchiladas.
Yum! Some queso and guac on top and these sound perfect.
So yummy with Mexican Restaurant Rice and CrockPot refried black beans! A bit of salsa and sour cream on top of the enchiladas makes them perfect.
I love enchiladas! I would add hatch green chiles and cotija cheese. I would mix the red and green sauces. Loaded refried beans with everything I made the enchiladas out of and of course Cumin rice.
I use taco seasoning with a pinch of additional cumin. a chopped clove of garlic, and a can of black beans. Then cover them with enchilada sauce, a combination of Mexican and sharp cheddar cheese, salsa, some cilantro, sliced green onion, and sour cream I serve them with your recipe for Skillet Mexican Street Corn.
Looks yummy and easy, 2 of my favorite things! I’d add some black olives and more cheese on top, always more cheese!
Made this and put hatch green chili sauce on it yum yum
Would love to make these mild!!
Canned enchilada sauce? Seriously? Most of it tastes like dishwater. Make a good chili gravy. If you can make a basic flour, shortening, and water gravy, just add chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Always corn tortillas.
I sometimes top the enchiladas with a fried egg and pico de gallo if I’m having them for breakfast. Always have Mexican rice and pinto beans in some form.
For a variety, use flour tortillas, make a queso blanco and fill with shrimp, crab, and/or lobster.
These look amazing! I love to add a dollop plain Greek yogurt to the top of my enchiladas.
I would make my enchiladas mild,adding Mexican cheese
I love Pico de Gallo on enchiladas. Also a few extra jalapeños.
We love enchiladas. We had them Tuesday night. We like sour cream, guacamole and cilantro if I have it.
Your recipes is so awesome and good
I think on this recipe I’d add little cream cheese. Let it get good room temperature. Then take some lime or lemon juice and help it smooth out more or better ( my wording bad sometimes ). I Also been using auntie no no instead of salt and pepper Thanks always for helping me out with new ideas for recipes. Blessings to you and yours ????
I am going to try this recipe on Sunday! We love enchiladas!!!!! We usually just do cheese or chicken and cheese. I can’t wait to try beef! I love to make homemade Spanish rice and refried beans to go with our enchiladas. I put sour cream out for people to put on top if they choose and of course homemade salsa.
Would be wonderful with sour cream and jalapeños
Love Enchiladas! Would this recipe work with a green sauce too? I always add extra cheese on top
I would not put them in the air fryer since there is a sauce.
I like to put Pico de Gallo on top. I would have cauliflower rice with cilantro or yellow rice as a side.
I like mild enchiladas, Although I would like to try spicy. I don’t think I would add anything to the meat and spices.
I add homemade black beans to my enchiladas and make my own enchilada sauce.
I top my spicy enchiladas with sour cream and guacamole. Usually serve Mexican rice with them. I’ll often make 2-3 pans and freeze for later use
I love them mild with extra cheese
These look great! I loooove sour cream, salsa and more cheese on top!
I like them spicy!! I’d add nothing because this sounds great!
I serve refried beans and Spanish rice!!
These look delicious!,I’d make them mild and serve with a nice salad.
I would serve this with Spanish rice and black beans. I can’t wait to try these.
I love sour cream on top of my enchiladas.
On enchiladas, we love green onions and lots of cheese. Prefer very spicy. We love corn and salad with enchiladas. Can’t wait to try this recipe.
I love Pico de Gallo with Enchiladas!
Love making enchiladas with left over meat that I have and for a little more kick I use pepper jack cheese. When serving I usually top them with lettuce and sour cream, on so good. Paired with a small salad and you have a great dinner.
Oh yes that would be delicious.
I would top mine with a little Pepper Jack, diced tomatoes, green onion and sour cream… I prefer medium, not too blah or too spicy. To the enchilada itself, possibly add some black beans and serve it all up with some elote or Mexican rice! Yum!
I would make it medium spicy, Serve with avocado slices!
Yes I’ve done that and it is delicious!
I would serve Mexican rice with this dish
Oh I love those ideas!
YUM! Love that idea.
Yes this recipe is great with green enchilada sauce
I love topping mine with red onion, homemade
salsa, Monterey Jack cheese and sour creme. My salsa is spicy enough and the Monterey Jack adds a little more punch. So I don’t add any hot peppers.
I usually serve it with Ques Blanc & chips.
I like mild enchiladas. That way I can eat more of them.
Spicy
We always top enchiladas and burritos with sour cream, chopped tomatoes and chopped lettuce – a little cold crunchy taste to go along with hot and spicy.
Yes I like to make it miild and then top my personal enchiladas with some spicy toppings for my personal preference.
I would put pico de Gallo on top of these!!
Super yummy! Added shredded lettuce, tomato and sour cream for topping
Yes flour is delicious too!
Those are great ideas. We actually have a very easy chicken enchiladas recipe – https://www.eatingonadime.com/the-best-sour-cream-chicken-enchiladas/
WOW! I love all these ideas. Thank you!
I love those ideas!
Thanks so much for commenting! I love the idea of using pepper jack cheese too!
I would make them spicy and serve with Spanish Rice and Refried Beans
I would put lettuce, tomato, onion and a couple of dollops of sour cream on the top before serving.
I would put a few peppers to kick the heat up a little!
How long would you bake them in the air fryer?
This recipe is delicious. I like to add extra cheese and we love it spicy spicy
This recipe is super easy and delicious! I always kick it up a notch, because we like spicy. I add a can of fire roasted green chilies to ground meat mixture (I also use deer hamburger), and use pepper Jack instead of Monterey Jack cheese. If you don’t like spicy, it’s perfect the way it’s written!
I probably would add green chilis and jalapeños. I like spicy! 🙂
I like to use left over beef or pork roast to make enchiladas. We put the meat, rice, onions and cheese on the inside. Top the wrapped tortillas with enchilada sauce and more cheese. Green onions and tomatoes or salsa after they’re cooked. We use taco sauce or hot sauce to spice them up if the person wants them more spicy. Not everyone in my house likes spicy so I make them plain usually for that reason. We usually will eat tortilla chips, salsa and white cheese dip as a side. Sometimes more rice or refried beans topped with cheese as well.
Making enchiladas is a great way to repurpose leftover meat of any kind to keep from wasting food while at the same time make a new dish for dinner. I just recently made a Barboca roast (which is very spicy) and will be using the left overs like this for enchiladas!
We make our enchiladas with shredded chicken and green sauce. I also add chopped green chilies and a white cheese blend. We have toppings of sour cream, chopped green onions, sliced black olives, and of course guacamole. We serve with a salad and yellow saffron rice with a can of mild Rotel mixed in.
I think I’d switch out the corn tortillas for flour, just because that’s my kids preference. Otherwise this looks so easy and delicious! I’d top it with some sour cream and sliced avocado and serve Mexican rice on the side, mixing a little of the enchilada sauce into that ?
This is an awesome recipe and love that it’s fast and easy as an extra perk! Serve when friends come to watch Buffalo Bills football game. Serve with a side salad and with no more work to prepare during the game, I can enjoy the day too!
I can’t wait to do this recipe TONIGHT!
Would you make it spicy or mild?
I would make it mild for the children but spicy for me and hubby ?
This looks so Yummmyyyyy. When I make enchiladas I side them with rice and beans. ?
I like mild enchiladas with green sauce. I’m going to make these for dinner tonight.
I would make my enchiladas spicy.
To my enchiladas I would add refried beans inside and Mexican rice. That’s probably a thing already in a Mexican dish but I love it in my enchiladas too.
Looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it and I would add refried beans to the rolls.
I would make my enchiladas spicy.
I would add black olives and cilantro.
I add sour cream to the top!! as for a side, I always struggle. Any suggestions would be awesome!
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS I put refried beans inside with cheese
Yum! I add a can of mild green chilies to the beef. After baking, I top with a sprinkle of mexican cheese, Cotija, or crema, and don’t forget the cilantro.
Make it spicy!
Thanks for sharing…it looks delicious. I look forward to trying this recipe! I will use lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and cilantro for the toppings.
This looks yummy just as it is! Can’t wait to try it!
Those look so yummy. I would make them a little on the spicy side and add sour cream as a topping. My family loves it that way.
Salsa Verde sauce, black beans and rice with it and corn inside
Love them and easy to make. Prefer spicy and want to try different cheeses.
I would add sour cream, jalapeño peppers, and olives to my enchiladas.
I love to top mine with sour cream and green onions!
I’m the only one in a house of three that would eat this and I would make it spicy.
I would add pico de gallo!
Next to my enchiladas I love refried beans (a tablespoon of butter melted in) and a house salad with lite ranch!
Gots ta go spicey !
These look amazing! I would garnish mine with sour cream, fresh pico de Gallo and some queso. Serve this was some Mexican street corn and I’m sure it would be a great meal!
I put sour cream on my enchiladas! That is a must have!
I would add green onion and sour cream it’s looks very yummy
I would use low carb tortillas instead of the corn and would try pepper jack cheese.
What a fun and simple recipe! I love topping enchiladas with sour cream, chipotle ranch and pico de galo!
I like to make Mexican rice and crockpot frijoles to go with my enchiladas, along with a lettuce and tomato salad with a side of guacamole.
Yum!Would top with sour cream and lettuce!
Topping this with diced tomato, onion and avacados, plus some Chalula hot sauce! With a side of yellow rice!
I would have them mild with lots of cheese and onions on top.
I would have to make them on the mild side. I like them spicy but not my hubby!!
These look delicious and easy. I like not spicy, so I keep all spicy things for the fam to add on later if they like. Sour cream all the way for me! And I usually serve all “taco” type meals all by themselves… no sides. is that weird/ wrong?
I might use a less expensive steak instead of ground beef..my family loves steak!
Sour cream, jalapenos and black olives are a couple of my favorite toppings
Black beans of the side would be perfect, meal goes further and more protein, so more filling.
I would definitely keep mine spicier. They look delicious!
If they are hot, they will not crumble. That is why I dip them into the enchilada sauce before crumbling. If you want want to mess with the enchilada sauce, go ahead microwave them between 2 damp paper towels and then roll.
How do I keep the corn tortillas from crumbling? Is there a secret? Complete disaster.
Fantastic! Made my own enchilada sauce and used chihuahua cheese instead of jack.
This recipe is a keeper!
Made it just like the recipe and my family loved it. For my toppings I put them separate and let my family add what they like. I will make this again.
Try using corn/flour tortillas. They hold up better
Made this for my husband and my brother last night night and they both loved it, and so did I! They said this taste is what hope for when they order an enchilada at a restaurant! 5/5, will be making this all the time now!
Don’t use corn tortillas. They don’t roll or bend. I ended up using flour tortillas that I luckily had already.
These are absolutely delicious and so easy. I will make them again.
Very good but had to make mine into a casserole cause my corn shells kept breaking. Not sure what I did wrong but very easy and good. I even heated the shells in hot oil.
so easy to make and family enjoys this dish!!
These were so easy & ohhh sooo good! The best part is it only took me 30 min max from start to finish!
Love easy enchiladas to fix!
Can you freeze these? I’m cooking for one and always looking for recipes I can freeze.
Kelly – I put my tortillas in between damp paper towels and heat them for 45-60 seconds in the microwave. I don’t have any issues with them tearing by heating them this way.
How do you keep the shells from breaking when you roll them? I heated in the microwave and when I roll them they always break, tear, fall apart! What’s the secret?
