Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef you could also use shredded chicken or steak
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 package tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese I like Mexican blend
  • 2 small cans or 1 big can enchilada sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Cook ground beef in a medium skillet on medium to high heat until cooked thoroughly.

  3. Drain the ground beef and return to the stove on medium/low heat in the same skillet.

  4. Add packet of taco seasoning but only add half of the water required per package instructions and the other half use the enchilada sauce. Sprinkle in ½ cup of the shredded cheese and combine over medium/low heat.

  5. While the cheese is melting in the ground beef mixture, start laying out the desired number of tortilla shells. I usually get 6 enchiladas out of 1 lb. but if you like a lot of meat in yours, you probably will only get about 4. You can always double the recipe 😊
  6. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and then take a little of the enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the dish.
  7. Spread about a 1/4 cup ground beef mixture along one side of each tortilla. I usually make one line of it down one side. Roll the tortillas up and place in a baking dish side by side. It’s fine if they are touching.

  8. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled-up tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  9. Place in oven for 10 minutes or until all cheese is melted.
  10. Serve with sour cream if desired.
