Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Keep them covered with a towel.

  2. Step 2

    Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup of the 2 cups shredded meat and 2 tbsp of the 1 cup crumbled cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the 1 cup salsa over the rolled tortillas, spreading to coat. Bake at 375°F until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp.

  4. Step 4

    Top the hot enchiladas with the 2 cups shredded lettuce, 1 cup diced carrots, and 1/2 cup sliced red onion. Sprinkle with the remaining crumbled cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Serve with the 4 lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Add sliced jalapeño or extra salsa if you like.

  6. Step 6

    Enjoy warm, with a fork and knife or rolled up in a tortilla.
