Step 3: Bake the Casserole
- Cover and bake: Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Uncover for golden cheese: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.
- Rest before serving: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing to help it set.

- Freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of herbaceous flavor.
- Sliced green onions or diced jalapeños for a hint of spice.

Sides:
- Mexican rice: A classic accompaniment to enchiladas.
