Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat.

  4. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of an oven-proof baking dish.
  5. Place one softened tortilla flat in the dish.
  6. Spread an even layer of the beef or chicken filling over the tortilla.
  7. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, filling, and cheese, ending with a tortilla on top.
  9. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top layer.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
