  6. Pour remaining sauce mixture evenly over enchiladas.

  8. Bake uncovered for 20โ€“25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Customize toppings โ€“ you can use sausage, mushrooms, or jalapeรฑos for more heat.
  • To make it vegetarian, omit pepperoni and add more veggies or plantโ€‘based sausage.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3โ€“4 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
