Recipe View Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly (about 10 minutes).

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.
