Beef Enchiladas

Grace was also nice enough to share her Enchilada recipe. She served these at Christmas and they were the best ever! I have yet to make them, but I can't wait to tackle it!

Enchiladas:

Makes 12 enchiladas

Ingredients:
1 lb ground mean
1/2 onion, chopped
2 T taco seasoning mix (mild, medium, or hot depending on your taste)
Ground Cumin
12 tortillas (enchilada size)
Enchilada sauce
Cheddar or Mexican Cheese (shredded)
Olives

Brown 1 lb gr. meat, with 1/2 onion chopped, add salt and pepper to taste,
when done add about 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix, powdered, the kind in the envelope I used Pace Taco Seasoning mix and also a couple dashes of ground Cumin....
in a frying pan with some oil, put each tortilla in for a few seconds on both sides just till it softens, take out and drain on paper towels, do all 12
Put a small amount of some Mild Enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9 X 12 pan, take one tortilla dip in a separate dish with some of the enchilada sauce in it, it will be messy, put enough meat in to fill, also some cheddar or Mexican cheese (and you can put in olives if you want) then roll up and put in pan, do all 12. Pour the rest of the Enchilada sauce on top of all, sprinkle with lots of cheese and bake @350 for 30-40 min, till heated thru, eat and enjoy
It sounds like a lot of work but it really is not, make an assembly line and it will be easy.
