Especially when tortillas are involved. Enchiladas are not so temperamental. There is a lot of wiggle room for successful enchilada reheating. That said, we still believe the best way to reheat enchiladas is in the oven. It should go without saying but, to be safe, never put anything plastic or cardboard into your oven. They may be a little chewier than the first serving, but the sauce and filling help to keep the texture and consistency stable.
If you first warm your enchilada in the microwave just for a minute to heat up the center a little bit, then placing it in your toaster oven should only take about 10 minutes. Cover the baking tray with tin foil before putting your enchilada on to make clean-up easier.
You can also cover your enchilada with tinfoil to protect the tortilla from drying out since it will be quite close to the heat source. Reheating frozen enchiladas is just as easy as reheating refrigerated ones. Before placing your frozen or thawed enchiladas in the oven, remove any plastic wrapping or aluminum foil. You can reheat frozen enchiladas in your microwave though this is best reserved for individual serving sizes. Preheat your oven to F and bake a full casserole dish of enchiladas for 15—20 minutes.
The sauce should be bubbling and the cheese completely melted. Rolling enchiladas looks much more difficult than it is. Though with practice, it gets even easier. Spread the filling in a line across the center of your tortilla. Generally, set the oven to degrees F. First, cover the enchiladas with aluminum foil to keep everything evenly heated and to retain moisture.
Put the covered enchiladas in the oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, the enchiladas are already well warmed. Now, remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes to give the final touch and flavor. When you are in a hurry or have only one serving to warm up, of course, an oven is not an option.
Feel free to turn to the microwave. You may have a little harder tortilla, but it will be a decent reheating result. Since the microwave does not heat the inside of the dish well as the outside, it is definitely advisable to slice the enchiladas before heating. If you want to preserve the good appearance of the meal, pierce the tortilla in several places if you do not want to completely cut the meal. It is important to keep the steam inside the dish so that it does not dry out.
So, cover the plate with plastic wrap intended for microwaves and put in for heating. Turn on for 60 seconds and then check that it is heated enough. If not, extend the heating time to an additional 30 seconds once or twice as needed. See more: The best way to heat corn tortillas.
