This comes out of my book Salsa Cooking by Marjie Lambert. I have tweaked it a little over the years and use my own home made red chili sauce with it. Feel free to use your own enchilada sauce instead of the red chili sauce. We like it with shredded lettuce, chopped raw onion, sour cream, and home made salsa.

    Heat the oil in a heavy fry pan, then fry tortillas on each side for a minute or two. Dip both sides into the chili sauce/enchilada sauce, and place in the prepared baking pan.
  • 5
    Spread desired amount of beef and cheese in the middle of the tortilla, fold both ends over filling and roll up. repeat for remaining filling and tortillas. I use about 2 rounded tablespoons of meat and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Amounts are up to you,
