Enchilada or Casserole Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a bowl, mix the chosen filling (chicken or beef) with tomato sauce or salsa and a portion of the cheese. 3. Soften the tortillas slightly in the microwave or on the stove, making them easier to roll. 4. Spoon the filling onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. 5. Cover the rolled tortillas with the remaining cheese and any leftover sauce. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. 7. Serve hot, garnished with sour cream or crema on top.

Side Salad Preparation

1. In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens, chopped tomato, and sliced cucumber. 2. Toss the salad with your choice of dressing, ensuring an even coating. 3. Serve the salad fresh alongside the enchilada or casserole for a refreshing contrast.
