Assemble the Enchiladas:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Fill each tortilla with the Wagyu beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish. -
Bake the Enchiladas:
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Serve:
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with your favorite sides like rice or beans.
Side Dish Pairings:
Enhance your Wagyu Beef Enchiladas with classic Mexican sides like Spanish rice, black beans, or a fresh guacamole.
