Enchilada Recipe

Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

2 pounds of ground beef
cumin
garlic salt
red pepper

12 corn or flour tortillas
3 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 C. shredded monterrey cheese

2 packets of McCormick enchilada seasoning
2 cans of tomato sauce
1 can of Old El Paso medium enchilada sauce

Preheat oven to 375*
Brown hamburger in med size skillet. Season to taste with the cumin, garlic salt, and red pepper. Drain fat, place back in pan and add 1 C. of prepared enchilada sauce. To make the enchilada sauce follow directions on back of packet, and add the can of Old El Paso to this.

Warm flour/corn tortillas in a hot skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Dunk tortillas in enchilada sauce, place in your preferred baking dish. Fill with meat and cheese then roll, placing seam side up in dish. Repeat until baking dish is full. Pour desired amount of remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese. Again your desired amount. Bake in oven for 35 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. ENJOY!!!


TIPS:
If you have a favorite taco seasoning you can save yourself the hassle of seasoning the meat on your own and just open and add the packet to your meat. The same can be said for the enchilada sauce. I listed the combo that I use because I like the favor this produces the best.  Remember when it comes to cooking that your own personal touches are what makes the dish your very own. Do not be afraid to play a little. Refried beans inside of an enchilada is very delicious too. You could also try adding a dollop of sour cream and fresh salsa over the top of your enchiladas for an added creamy kick! Yumm! :)
