Here are a few ideas on how to customize and perfect them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Warm Your Tortillas<\/strong>: Before you assemble the enchiladas, warm up your flour tortillas. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear when rolling. You can heat them in a dry skillet or microwave them for a few seconds until they become soft and easier to work with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Different Sauce: <\/strong>I use<a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-enchilada-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"> red enchilada sauce<\/a> in this recipe- it\u2019s rich, savory, and made with warm spices! If you want, you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/green-enchilada-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">green enchilada sauce <\/a>instead. It\u2019s bright and tangy with a mild kick of spice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap Out Chilies: <\/strong>If you want more heat, swap out the green chilies for diced jalapenos, chipotle peppers, or serrano peppers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More Toppings: <\/strong>Add a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocados, or salsa!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve With: <\/strong>These enchiladas are great on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-refried-beans\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">refried beans<\/a>, black beans, or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/mexican-rice\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Mexican rice<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" alt=\"A blue and white casserole dish filled with baked enchiladas.\" class=\"wp-image-212186\" title=\"These delicious enchiladas are filled with juicy pork carnitas and smothered in melted cheese.
