Prepare the Filling:

  2. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Make the Egg Mixture:

Bake the Enchiladas:

  1. Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas in the baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining ¾ cup cheddar cheese and ¼ cup Monterey Jack/pepper jack cheese over the top.
