HOW TO MAKE THESE
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, brown the beef over medium high heat breaking up until no longer pink. Drain. Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Cook over medium high heat until liquid is almost gone.
- Remove from heat and add the green chiles and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Stir until combined.
- Fill each tortilla with a 1/3 cup of the meat mixture and top with about 2 tablespoons of cheese. You’ll use about a total of 1 cup of cheese inside all the enchiladas. Roll up and place seam side down in the pan. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top of the enchiladas and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
