When you're in the mood for Tex-Mex, this is the dinner to make. From kitchen to table, it takes about an hour, and half of that is hands-off baking or cooking time. I like to make a few pans of enchiladas and keep them in the freezer for this busy month. They will bake from the totally frozen state to piping hot in just one hour.

How To Freeze Enchiladas
We made, froze, thawed, and baked this enchilada recipe in both a 13- x 9-inch disposable aluminum foil pan and a 9- x 12-inch reusable, heat-resistant, durable pan with great results. Here's how.

  • Place a piece of sealable plastic wrap directly against the top of the enchiladas to slow the drying effects of the freezer. Use 1 continuous piece of wide heavy-duty aluminum foil to totally encase the casserole. Cover with the plastic lid, if available. Freeze up to one month.
  • Before baking, remove lid and aluminum foil, and carefully peel sealable plastic wrap from top of casserole. Cover with foil for baking. Place pan on a baking sheet.
  • To bake thawed: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Bake as directed.
  • To bake frozen: Bake 1 hour.
