– Dip each tortilla into the warm salsa, then, with the help of a large spatula, fold the tortilla in half, and place it on your serving plate. Place 3 enchiladas per plate. If you see that your salsa is reducing and getting thicker while warming it, you can add a little bit of the cooking water from the tomatillos.
