  • Pour another 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
  • Next prepare your enchilada by place a spoonful or two of the beef mixture and shredded cheese (save some cheese for later) down the center of a flour tortilla. Roll the filled tortilla tightly and then place it in your baking dish. (tip seam down). Do this with each flour tortilla.
  • Top your enchiladas with the remaining sauce and shredded cheese. Place in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes.
