Notes

Pro Tips:
Shred your chicken finely so it distributes evenly in the enchiladas and doesn't create lumpy rolls. Warm your tortillas before fillin—htey won't tear. Don't skimp on sauce; a generous layer underneath and on top keeps everything moist during baking.
Storage & Meal Prep:
Assemble enchiladas up to 24 hours ahead, cover with foil, and refrigerate. Bake from cold, adding about 10 minutes to the cooking time. Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 4 days and reheat beautifully in a 350°F oven covered with foil.
