My family loves enchiladas. I usually make a skillet version just because they are faster. However, I do want a classic style sometimes too. That is what I have for you today.
This classic version of enchiladas has a simple ground beef filling, but there is a secret on the inside. Pepper jack cheese ads some wonderful flavor.
