🥣 Ingredients for Strawberry Pie Enchiladas

Makes 6 enchiladas

For the Enchiladas:

• 1 (21 ounce) can strawberry pie filling (or homemade, see below)
• 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ cup water
• 1 pound fresh strawberries, tops removed, divided

For Homemade Strawberry Pie Filling (optional):

• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup boiling water
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, pureed

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Homemade Filling (if using):

1. Place 1 ½ cups of fresh strawberries into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.
2. Add the sugar, boiling water, and cornstarch. Blend again until fully combined and smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. The mixture will thicken to a jam-like consistency.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool slightly.
5. Halve or quarter the remaining fresh strawberries and fold them into the thickened sauce. Set aside.

Assemble the Enchiladas:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon with 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Set aside.
3. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds so they’re pliable.
4. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of strawberry pie filling down the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the remaining granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
6. Pour the warm butter-sugar syrup evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the enchiladas are golden and bubbly. The syrup will thicken slightly as it bakes.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle any remaining syrup from the dish over the top.

🍽️ How to Serve Strawberry Pie Enchiladas

These enchiladas are best served warm, fresh from the oven. Here are some delightful serving ideas:

• Classic: Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
• Extra Decadent: Drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
• Brunch Style: Serve alongside fresh fruit salad and a mimosa for a spring brunch.
• Kid-Friendly: Add a sprinkle of colorful sprinkles or a dusting of powdered sugar.

📦 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave individual servings for 30-40 seconds.
• Freeze: Assemble the enchiladas (without the syrup) and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight, then pour syrup over and bake as directed.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the filling and syrup up to 2 days in advance. Store separately in the fridge.

🎨 Delicious Variations to Try

• Mixed Berry: Substitute half the strawberry filling with blueberry or raspberry pie filling.
• Chocolate Strawberry: Add ¼ cup mini chocolate chips to the filling before rolling.
• Vegan Option: Use vegan butter, plant-based tortillas, and a dairy-free pie filling.
• Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free flour tortillas (corn tortillas also work but are smaller).
• Spiced: Add ¼ teaspoon nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mix.
• Savory-Sweet: Add a pinch of sea salt to the syrup for a salted caramel vibe.
