Easy Cheese Enchiladas
Cheese enchiladas are a staple on any Mexican menu. So, everyone should really have a staple recipe for cheese enchiladas. These easy cheese enchiladas only take 5 ingredients to make and canned enchilada sauce is what makes them easy to make.
Once you find a good canned enchilada sauce you are set. I personally prefer the ![""]("//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=reamomkit-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B00V9O1988")
You also need store bought corn tortillas. The main thing with these is you need to warm them before using them. Or you may end up with a crumbly corn tortilla.
Next is the cheese. I like to use a mixture when possible. Cheddar and monterrey jack are a good combo. Also, buy the cheese by the block and shred it yourself. The cheese will melt much better than the pre-shredded stuff in the bag.
Last you need a way to finish off those enchiladas. I like the combination of diced green onion and sour cream. However, feel free to change it up to the way you like them. Guacamole and fresh chopped cilantro are also yummy.
