Prep the enchiladas up to 24 hours in advance, cover and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake. When you are ready to bake, remove the cover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350°F or until heated through.
You can freeze the enchiladas. Cover them tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, remove the plastic wrap, cover and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F or until heated through.
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat prior to serving.
