Can I layer enchiladas instead of rolling?

What kind of tortillas are used for enchiladas?
Sturdy yellow corn tortillas hold up better in these enchiladas than more delicate white corn tortillas. (Do not use flour tortillas for this recipe; the flavor isn’t right.) The corn tortillas must be softened before they are rolled and baked in the casserole.
Why do my tortillas fall apart when I make enchiladas?
Why does my corn tortillas fall apart? The main reason corn tortillas crack is that they aren’t warm enough. If the tortillas are dry or too cold, the lard can’t bind together the tortilla and causes it to break. For that essential pliable, slightly springy texture make sure your tortillas are completely warmed.
