Freezing home made enchillada question

[fresnochili]

I used to make many casseroles of enchiladas for my dad...13x9 pan,flour torts.

made them all up w/sauce and cheese,olives, etc
and froze them like that. Put some foil over them, of course.

They were fine to bake like that.

They’re not enchiladas if they’re not in the sauce! I mean.. what a great verb.. enchilar... to enrobe or cover in chiles. We don’t have a word like that in English!

I wouldn't consider freezing them without the sauce. They will be so much better if frozen completely saturated with the sauce -- less dry-out and preserves the texture.

similarly to freezing spinach, mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc... all should be frozen while totally immersed in butter. It seems to preserve the real flavors if the actual item is covered in sauce or butter.
