This works great for a quick dinner meal for one person. If you wish to make it for more than one you'll simply need to multiply all of the ingredients but the enchilada sauce by the number of persons you want to serve (1 enchilada per serving). When you have the appropriate number of filled tortillas in the baking dish simply cover the tortillas with about one cup of red enchilada sauce, sprinkle with the appropriate amount of cheddar cheese and bake at 350 degrees or until the cheese is brown on the edges.
