Method

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly fry each corn tortilla until warm and pliable.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Tortillas are warm and flexible. Keep them intact while frying.

  2. Roll the tortillas tightly with your chosen filling.

  3. Stack the rolled tortillas seam‑side down in a baking dish.

  4. Strain the chile‑based salsa through a fine‑mesh sieve into a bowl.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Salsa passes through the sieve into the bowl.

  5. Top the stacked tortillas with both red and green salsa (or the strained chile‑based salsa).

  6. Scatter shredded white cheese, crumbled white cheese, sliced white onions, and chopped green onions over the top.

  7. Drizzle white creamy sauce (crema) over the enchiladas.

  8. Fry the sauced, folded tortillas briefly in a skillet with a little oil to set the sauce.

  9. Bake at 350°F (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the tortillas are heated through.
