    Description:
    A quick and easy way to make a large amount of
    enchiladas without the mess.

    Time: 45 minutes - 1 hour
    Difficulty: Easy
    Serving Size: lots?

    Ingredients:
    1 pound ground beef
    1 package shredded cheese
    1 large can of enchilada sauce
    1 can of tomato sauce
    2 packages of flour tortillas
    * 1 can of refried beans (optional)
    * 1 jar of salsa (optional)
    * 1 jar of jalapenos (optional)

    Preparation:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    Instructions:
    1. Cook the ground beef in a pan until brown. Drain
    out the grease and set aside.

    2. In a pot, combine the enchilada sauce and
    tomato sauce and cook on medium heat for 15
    minutes. If you're looking for a little extra kick, add
    1 jar of your favorite salsa and cook together.

    3. In a lasagna pan or a casserole dish, spread a
    thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the pan.

    4. Add a layer of flour tortillas to the pan/dish. It's
    a good idea to have the tortillas go up the side of
    the pan/dish for the first layer to act as a base and
    keep the additional layers in.

    5. Add a layer of meat, distributing it evenly over
    the tortilla base.

    6. Add a layer of cheese. Cheddar, monteray jack,
    or mexican blends work excellent.

    7. Add another layer of sauce over the meat and
    cheese.

    8. Add another layer of flour tortillas and continue
    building the layers using tortilla, meat, cheese, and
    sauce until your ingredients are gone or you've
    reached the top of the pan.

    Place dish in the oven and let cook for 25 - 30
    minutes. Allow to cool, covered, for 10 - 15
    minutes.

    Depending upon how thick you want your layers to
    be, you may wish to use 2lbs of ground beef and 2
    packages of shredded cheese. As an optional step,
    you can spread a layer of refried beans on the
    tortillas and before adding the meat to give it more
    texture. Also, jalapenos can be added at each layer
    to suit your tastes.

    Cut into whatever size pieces you can devour,
    serve with a dollop of sour cream or a side of
    guacamole, and enjoy!

    The beauty of this recipe is that it's easy to make,
    a lot less messy than traditional enchiladas, and
    tastes even better the next day after the flavors
    have really had a chance to combine.
