Notes
You can use any kind of baking pan you have, baking times may have to be adjusted.
This recipe makes 10 enchiladas, 1 enchilada per person, or if not serving 10 people, you can have leftovers the next night.
You can serve refried beans and Mexican Rice A Roni as a side dish.
Tortilla chips are great with enchiladas too, and a salad and vegetables.
