Spicy Beefy Enchiladas

One of my favorite things to make!

1.5 pounds lean hamburger
6 large tortillas
2 10oz cans Old El Paso enchilada sauce, I use medium
1 4oz can Ortega diced jalapenos, use half, you can use green chiles if you want less spicy
1/4 yellow onion, diced
around 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

-brown hamburger with diced onion and jalapenos
-heat up tortillas in microwave for about 20 seconds, they are easier to roll warm
-set cheese in a bowl, (easy to get to)
-dump enchilada sauce into a pie plate, or wide shallow dish
-set out 9x13 baking dish
-set up line cause once you start rolling it gets messy
--slap both sides of each tortilla in the sauce
--load it with a few spoonfuls of beef and then cheese
--roll it up and do another
--dump remaining sauce over enchiladas
--top with desired amount of cheese

Bake at 375 20-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly!

This last time I added some spinach in each enchilada and it was really good! I had some frozen spinach, pulled out about 1 cup, let it thaw, then added a little to each one. One of those things where you are getting a serving of vegetables without knowing it!

*Forgot to take a picture before digging in, but they looked amazing!
