These enchiladas are easy to make ahead and refrigerate until you’re ready to bake. After quickly cooking the tortillas in hot oil, I layer them between paper napkins to soak up excess oil.—Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Tip

Nonstick Cheese Slicer

Sometimes my cheese slicer sticks when cutting through soft cheeses like Velveeta. To prevent this, I spritz the roller bar with a little bit of nonstick cooking spray. It works like a charm. —Heidi R., Tionesta, Pennsylvania

These were great, my wife and I made them for the first and did add little spicey chili powder. They were very tasty.

Instead of beef pick up a pre-roasted chicken at the grocery store in the deli. Great quick alternative!

These were excellent, but not spicy enough. Next time I will use chopped jalepenos instead of green chilis, or some of both. They were excellent reheated also.
