Helpful hints

  • Taco seasoning mix from a package is much lower in potassium compared to canned or bottled taco seasoning. Old El Paso brand was used in this recipe.
  • Corn tortillas contain a moderate amount of phosphorus. Keep enchilada phosphorus content lower by using sour cream as a topping instead of cheese.
  • For a smaller family, divide this recipe by putting half the uncooked enchiladas into a separate baking dish. Cook the portion you plan to serve and store the other dish in the refrigerator for the next day. The following day, heat in the oven at 350掳 F for 20 to 25 minutes.聽
