Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

Beef and cheese enchiladas are a popular meal at our house. Everyone (including picky kids) loves them, they're healthy, and are incredibly fast. They can be done within fifteen minutes. They're super easy, just throw everything in a pot, wrap in tortillas, and sprinkle on cheese. They hold up well in the fridge, so leftovers can be for lunch the next day.

The recipe is easily customisable, the ingredients are just tortillas, beef, tomato sauce, beans, cheese, taco seasoning, spinach. Add more or less beef, more or less tortillas, cheese, beans, spinach, based on what you want and how many people you want to feed.

Beef and Cheese Enchiladas
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb cooked ground beef (like a cup or two, less meat = cheaper)
  • 8 soft tortillas (more tortillas = more servings)
  • 3 cups grated cheese (less cheese = healthier)
  • 1 small can tomato sauce (like 1 oz?)
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning, plus any other spices like garlic, onion, etc.
  • 1 cup black beans (beans are cheap)
  • 2 cups raw spinach (about 3 leaves per tortilla)
Directions:
  1. Over high heat (high heat = faster) combine tomato sauce, taco seasoning, 1 cup of cheese (or less), beef, and beans, until combined and warm. 
  2. Scoop mixture into cooked tortillas, place in some spinach, roll up, place in 9x13 pan. Repeat until the filling is gone. Sprinkle on cheese over the top. 
  3. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until the tops are crunchy and toasty brown. (you can pull them out sooner if you're in a hurry)
