Monterey Jack is my favorite for this but a Mexican-style or cheddar cheese blend works well too.

Heat your oven to 400F and coat a 9x13-inch dish with nonstick cooking spray or oil.

Pour on the remaining enchiladas sauce and give the pan a little shake to coat the taquitos.

Next, sprinkle on your cheese.

Add your favorite enchilada toppings like sour cream, sliced avocado, or salsa, and serve.
