I’m making this tomorrow. It looks really good and easy. Do you or should you put some sauce in the bottom of the pan before putting tortillas in? Also, is a glass baking dish better than metal better for this?

Hi Darcie,
Yes, add some enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan, about a half a cup. Glass or metal baking dishes work great.

Hi there can you confirm the amount of meat mixture for each tortilla. It’s say 1 tblsp….it doesn’t seem enough.

Hi Marie,
Dependent upon the size of the tortilla, no more than 1/4 cup and at least one heaping tablespoon of meat mixture. You don't want your tortilla over-stuffed and breaking open when serving or overflowing in the baking pan.
Hope that helps,
