Enchiladas

We Love Mexican food and find that it is an easy meal that can be made at home anytime.

Meat:

1 pound ground beef

2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon minced dried onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

salt and pepper

Sauce:

1 16 ounce can tomato sauce

1/2 teaspoon minced dried onion flakes

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar

salt and pepper

Extras:

Flour Tortillas

Spanish Rice

Refried Beans

Quacamole

Sour Cream

Salsa

Garnish:

Lettuce

Onion

Tomato

Shredded Cheese

Method:

Brown the ground beef in a hot pan on the stove crumbling meat up so it is fine.  Add in the spices and add water as needed if it gets dry.  Cover and let simmer on low heat while making the rest of the dish.

Mix the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan on the stove and heat to a boiling, then reduce heat and simmer while making the rest of the dish.

Make your spanish rice and refired beans so they are also ready for the dinner.

Dice the onion and tomato, shred the cheddar cheese, slice thinly the lettuce for garnish.

Heat up the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds to loosen them up a bit.

You are now ready to assemble each plate!

For each plate, take a flour tortilla, put the meat mixture in the center of it and roll it up. Put a scoop of spanish rice and a scoop of refried beans next to the rolled up tortilla. Cover liberally with the sauce. Garnish with onions and cheese. Put the plate in the microwave for 30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Garnish with tomato, lettuce, guacomole and salsa, and serve.

If you don't have a can of refried beans, use a can of pinto beans and mash them up with some finely diced onion and garlic.
