For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema on top of each enchilada before serving. These enchiladas are great for making ahead! Assemble them completely, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers according to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes before chopping.
