Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with chilantro, scallio, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.
