1 pkg. of 36 corn tortillas

1 medium onion (diced)

1 medium bell pepper (diced)

seasonings: I use garlic salt and ground cumin

Brown ground beef with green pepper and onion in a large skillet until done. Drain, add seasonings (season to your taste) stir and set aside. In a large bowl, grate both cheddar and mozzarella cheese and mix together real good. (it's ok to mix together with your fingers) Set aside. In another skillet, on medium heat add 1 can of Hormel chili and dilute it with a can of water and stir to dissolve chili. Place a single tortilla in until it softens. Keep a spatula under the tortilla to lift it out of the pan. don't leave tortilla in skillet too long because it will fall apart. Take out of skillet with the spatula onto cookie sheet or bake pans. Add tablespoon of meat mixture to tortilla, add grated cheese and roll. Do each individual tortilla the same way. You can make an extra pan with equal amounts and freeze for supper another night. If the Hormel chili gets too watery, open up the 2nd can of Hormel chili and add to the skillet and again dilute it with a little water. After all the enchiladas are filled and rolled--melt the Velveeta cheese with the Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies. (can be melted in the microwave) On top of the enchiladas, add more meat mixture (if there is any left, more grated cheese and top each enchilada with a tablespoon or more of Velveeta cheese dip. Place enchiladas in 350 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes. You can put individual servings on a plate and microwave for about 2 minutes Submitted by: Norma (Cool-Mom)
