Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use red tomatoes instead of green tomatoes (tomatillos)?

How do I adjust the spiciness level of the enchiladas?

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.

How spicy will the dish be with serrano chiles? Can I adjust the spiciness?

Serrano chiles are moderately spicy. If you prefer a milder dish, you can use fewer chiles or remove the seeds and membranes, which contain most of the heat.

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Manchego and Oaxaca?
