Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 (10-oz) can red enchilada sauce
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas (or corn, but flour preferred)
  • 1 (8-oz) package Borden® Cheese Thick Cut Shredded Four Cheese Mexican (about 2 cups)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven and grease dish:

    Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray.

  • Brown beef and mix salsa:

    Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Pour off excess fat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Mix in salsa and warm through. Take off heat.

  • Layer enchilada sauce:

    Spread roughly half the enchilada sauce across the bottom of the greased dish.

  • Fill and roll tortillas:

    Heat tortillas per package instructions. Spoon about 1/4 cup meat mixture along the center of each tortilla, then add about 1 heaping tablespoon cheese. Roll tightly and arrange seam-down in the dish. Cover with remaining sauce and scatter leftover cheese on top.

  • Bake covered with foil:

    Seal dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
