FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S)
I use burrito sized for this recipe so they make large enchiladas. You can certainly use taco sized if you’d like to make them smaller and have more of them.
While these are your basic ground beef version, they also work great with chicken like my Salsa chicken recipe or try them with my Mexican shredded beef recipe!
This really is a flavor preference. My personal preference is Herdez (mild) brand salsa. I’ve been to known to purchase others when they are on sale but that is my favorite. You could also use a can of Rotel but I think salsa adds more depth of flavor.
We use simple cheddar cheese for this recipe, but you can also use a Mexican blend, Monterey Jack or even Colby Jack as well.
Enchiladas can be stored (covered) in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 5 days. These can also be frozen. Wrap then pan in plastic wrap and then a layer of foil and they should keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost, remove to your refrigerator overnight and you can reheat in the oven until heated through or in the microwave.

Thanks for the recipe
people need to get a life and stop “correcting” every little thing they read or is posted on social media!!! personally enchiladas can be made with any type tortillas! authentic can be any area of world you live in! seriously, if you want to get completely technical about it, werent the “original” enchiladas made with corn husks!! really people!
if you dont want to follow a recipe….then make up your own version and keep quiet about someone elses post!!!!!
LOL! Touche’!
LOL I’m assuming she was referring to Belinda’s comment below. Never in my life have I used the word “authentic” or “approved by every single Texan” in a recipe. People live to be outraged or offended by something these days. Food of all things should be a happy place but even folks are divided over that now too.
I have shared southern recipes that have been in my family for generations of southern cooks but I can guarantee you I will get a comment that says “That’s not how we do it in the south!” Ha! You gotta love the internet!
Thank you for the delicious recipe Brandie!
Thanks so much Jill! So happy you liked it!
Just letting you know, enchiladas are made with red corn tortillas. That’s the way they are made here in Texas. I have never heard of them being made with flour tortillas.
These aren’t those kinds of enchiladas. I lived in Texas for many years and these obviously aren’t authentic enchiladas because they’re made with ground beef. No self-respecting Mexican (or proper Tex-Mex cook) would make enchiladas with ground beef and cream of chicken soup – LOL. But I wasn’t going for authentic with this recipe and I never say at all in this post that they are authentic. However, if you want, I have a recipe on here for traditional enchiladas made with corn tortillas. Let me know if you want the recipe and I’ll send you the link 🙂
