Recipe Tips:

How to Store Leftovers:

Storing leftovers is easy to do with this recipe. I like to place the leftovers in individual containers in the refrigerator. If stored properly these enchiladas will last about 4 days.

To reheat, place on a microwave save dish and reheat in 1 minute intervals. If you have leftover sauce you may need to add to keep from drying out.
