Instructions for Cream Cheese Enchiladas Recipe:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.

- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.
