Preheat oven to 425.

5
Use the remaining enchilada sauce to cover the enchiladas, sprinkle them with cheese.

Bake 12-18 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top looks crispy (the corners will look toasted brown).
7
Serve ASAP because the middle gets cold fast ;) top with the lettuce, sour cream and tomato.
