Bear and Sweetpea’s Enchiladas Extrodinaire

You will need:

1 lb ground beef (we use extra lean)
½ onion, diced
1 can non-fat refried beans
1 can green chilies or jalapenos (depending on how hot you want it)
1 can green enchilada sauce (the medium sized can, not the HUGE one)
½ t. cumin
½ t. chili powder
12-15 tortillas (depends on how full you fill them)
1-2 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Sauté the onion in a little bit of olive oil in a skillet, till almost translucent

3. Add ground beef to skillet and brown. Drain if needed.

4. Add refried beans, chiles, cumin and chili powder and mix well. Heat through.

5. In a casserole dish or baking pan, cover the bottom with enchilada sauce. Don’t use more than half- you will need to pour the rest on top of the enchiladas.

6. Warm tortillas in whatever manner you prefer (we heat them in the microwave one at a time for about 10 seconds), wipe one side with water- this will be the outside.

7. Fill the tortilla with meat mixture to your linking, roll and place in baking pan. Repeat until meat is gone.

8. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

10. Remove from oven and top with cheese. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes.

11. Serve as is or top with sour cream and salsa (my fav.)

This reheats very well and depending on the size of your family (we're just 2) it will give you lots of leftovers.
