Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep enchiladas from getting soggy?
Only add sauce right before baking, and don't over-fill tortillas. A thin layer of sauce on the bottom prevents sticking without soaking the tortillas.
Can I use corn tortillas instead?
Yes — briefly heat corn tortillas in oil to make them pliable before rolling. They'll crack if you try to roll them cold.
