Can I make these enchiladas ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the casserole, cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add 10–15 minutes to bake time if baking from cold.
Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn?
Yes, but flour tortillas are thinner and more delicate. They may tear more easily when rolling. Warm them well before assembling to prevent breakage.
What's the best way to shred the chicken?
Poach or bake the chicken breasts until internal temp reaches 165°F, cool slightly, then shred with two forks or a stand mixer paddle on low speed.
Can I freeze these enchiladas?
Yes. Freeze the unbaked casserole up to 3 months in an airtight container. Bake from frozen at 350°F for 50–60 minutes, covered with foil.
How do I know when they're done baking?
Bake until the sauce bubbles around the edges and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden, about 25–30 minutes at 350°F.
