Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use red tomatoes instead of green tomatoes (tomatillos)?
Yes, you can use red tomatoes as a substitute for green tomatoes (tomatillos) in this recipe. However, keep in mind that tomatillos have a tangy flavor that adds a unique taste to the dish.
How do I adjust the spiciness level of the enchiladas?

For a milder version, use fewer chiles or remove the seeds and membranes, which are the spiciest parts of the pepper.

The taste and texture will be different, but it can still be a delicious variation.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the enchiladas ahead of time and refrigerate them.
Assemble the enchiladas and place them in the baking dish with the sauce, but don’t add the cheese. Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate.
When ready to serve, sprinkle the cheese on top and bake until heated through and the cheese is melted.
