Ingredients

1 lbs ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp cumin
½ cup salsa
12 corn tortillas
20 oz can red enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
optional garnishes shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef along with the onion until beef is fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease.
Mix in salt pepper, chili powder, paprika and cumin until well combined. Then mix in the salsa. Brin to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Spread a small amount of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Add the remaining enchilada sauce to a sauce pan and warm. Dip each tortilla in the sauce and spoon some of the meat mixture onto the tortilla. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish.
Once all the tortillas are arranged in the dish pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Top with shredded cheeses and bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melted.
Serve 2 tortillas on a plate and top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream if desired. Serves 6.
