To Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.

Tips:

Feel free to make your own enchilada sauce if you have a recipe you love. If using a homemade enchilada sauce, you will need about 1¼-1½ cups for this recipe.
You can add a layer of traditional refried beans or refried black beans to the bottom of the baking dish before adding the layer of frozen taquitos for a twist on this easy recipe.
