  • Stir in rice and cilantro until just blended.
  • Spoon 1½ cups enchilada sauce in bottom of each of two 20x12x2-inch hotel pans.
  • Spoon ¼ cup rice mixture on one end of each tortilla, top with 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese, roll up and place in pan, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slowly pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas. 
  • Cover and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese in tortillas has melted slightly.
  • Remove from oven and top with cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10 minutes or until cheddar cheese melts.

Recipe Notes

The enchiladas fit perfectly in the hotel pans if 3 rolled enchiladas are placed end to end across the longest end of the pan. Arrange the remaining enchiladas in a single layer, making it 3 enchiladas across and 8 enchiladas in each row.
