Enchiladas

These take a little time to put together, but we love them! When I make these, I double it and make two pans. They make great leftovers. So good!


1 lb lean ground turkey or beef
1/2 small yellow onion, diced
2 10-oz cans enchilada sauce (you might not use all of this, but one can is not enough)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
12 corn tortillas (you can substitute flour tortillas if you prefer)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown turkey/beef. Add diced onion, cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 can of enchilada sauce to meat mixture.

Using a 9x13 glass dish, cover the bottom of dish with a thin layer of enchilada sauce. Warm corn tortillas individually on the cooktop. Position tortilla in your hand or on a plate. Spoon one spoonful of enchilada sauce into tortilla to cover entire surface (on one side). Spoon 2 spoonfuls of meat/onion mixture into center of tortilla. Cover with cheese and roll tortilla tight. Place filled tortilla into glass dish with the seam side down. Repeat until dish is full.

Spoon enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas and then cover with cheese. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
