Put the desired amount of sauce of the enchiladas. The flour tortillas tasted slightly better with the sauce than the corn ones, but they both tasted amazing. ^_^

Top with as much Mexican cheese as you would like. (I really like cheese). I also had to split the enchiladas into spicy and normal since I added in cayenne to the sauce later. ^_^
