Ingredients
  

  • Leftover enchiladas
  • Microwave-safe plate
  • One T of water for every enchilada you are reheating
  • Splatter guard or another plate to cover
  • Fork or spatula
  • Optional: fresh spoonful of toppings like cheese or sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Whether using a stovetop or microwave, drizzle one tablespoon of water over top of each enchilada. 
  • Cover in the microwave with a lid (not a paper towel, because it will absorb the water and some of the sour cream)
  • Use the reheat setting on your microwave and warm your covered plate of enchiladas on high for one minute. For 2 to 3 enchiladas, 1.5 minutes. 
  • Remove from the microwave and turn the enchilada(s) over with a fork or spatula. 
  • Cover and heat for another 30 seconds. For 2 to 3 enchiladas, 45 seconds. 
  • Use the CookingChew Time, Turn, Test, Taste method to help reheat these evenly. 
  • It is better to heat anything in the microwave a little at a time than to overcook and create a chewy, burned, or inedible meal.
  • Remove plate with hot pads or finger protectors like these.
  • Garnish with a bit of queso, fresh shredded cheese or sour cream, if desired.
