Enchiladas
Ingredients
3 lbs. ground beef
8 oz of cheddar cheese (grated)
8 oz of mozzarella cheese (grated)
8 oz of Velveeta cheese
1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chilies
1 pkg. of 36 corn tortillas
2 cans Hormel chili (without beans)
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
