Instructions
- 01
Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Be sure to take the parchment paper up the sides of the pan to make removing the enchiladas later much easier.
- 02
Assemble the enchiladas in the lined baking dish as the recipe instructs.
- 03
Cover the pan with foil, then freeze until completely firm (this could take up to 3 hours). This is called flash freezing.
- 04
Once firm, lift the enchiladas out of the pan using the parchment paper.
- 05
Transfer the frozen enchiladas to a vacuum seal bag, label, and freeze.
- 06
Line a baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang.
- 07
Assemble and bake the enchiladas as instructed.
- 08
Let the enchiladas cool completely, then cover with foil and freeze until firm.
- 09
Once firm, lift the enchiladas out of the pan using the parchment paper.
- 10
Transfer the frozen enchiladas to a vacuum seal bag, label, and freeze.
- 11
Assemble and bake the enchiladas as instructed.
- 12
Let the pan of enchiladas cool completely, then slice into individual servings.
- 13
Transfer each enchilada to a freezer bag or container. I use individual glass containers that are freezer- and microwave-safe.
- 14
OR, wrap each slice in plastic wrap and then in foil before sealing inside a freezer bag.
- 15
Label and freeze.
