How to store and reheat!
Place it in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days or you can put it in the freeze and save it for up to a month
How to reheat
If you are doing a small batch just microwave it but if you're doing a large batch I think it turns out a lot better in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes
Can you make an ahead of time?
I wouldn't recommend it on this one as if it sits in the sauce the soggy the tortillas will get.
There are normally two types of sauce for enchiladas there is red sauce which is what we use for this recipe that normally has a tomato base some are starting to have pepper as the base though but they tend to be more spicy. Then you also have a green bad that uses peppers as the base
