These are one of my family’s favorites – they are so simple to make and use ingredients you probably have in your pantry. You can also double the recipe and freeze half for dinner another night!

Notes
If you have a smaller family and don't need 8 servings, save half of the uncooked enchiladas for another night! Securely cover the pan with aluminum foil and stick in the freezer for up to 30 days. Remove from freezer and allow to thaw in fridge a couple of hours before baking, then bake at 350 degrees until cheese melts and the middle of enchiladas are thoroughly cooked.
