Instructions

  • Add sliced tortillas and gently mix.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  • Cover and cook an additional 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.

Notes

To adjust spice levels, choose mild or hot enchilada sauce and add jalapeños if desired. Leftovers taste great in tacos, burritos, or over nachos. Always check labels to confirm products are gluten-free if needed.
