Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 1 can (10-ounce) red enchilada sauce
- 8 (8-inch) tortillas (We much prefer flour tortillas in this recipe, but corn are more traditional.)
- 1 (8-ounce) package Cheese Thick Cut Shredded Four Cheese Mexican (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the ground beef in a large skillet and brown it over medium-high heat. Drain off the excess fat, then return the beef to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Mix in the salsa and continue cooking until everything is heated through. Take the skillet off the heat.
- Spread approximately half of the enchilada sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Heat the tortillas as directed on their package. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture along the center of each tortilla, then add about 1 heaping tablespoon of cheese on top. Roll each tortilla tightly and arrange it seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Finish by scattering the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
