Bubbling Cauldron of Ingredients:

Enchilada Sauce Spell:

Assembling the Monster Bites:
- Heat the tortillas on a skillet or directly on the burner until they’re warm and slightly charred.

- Continue with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Finishing the Feast:
- Once all your Monster Bites are assembled, drizzle some extra enchilada sauce on top.
