Recipe Notes

  • Use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
  • Add chopped raw onion to the top before serving, if desired.

Here’s how to make it:

  1. Cook ground beef and onion in a skillet until browned. Drain.
  2. Add the green chiles, 1 can of the enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Stir well.
  3. Spoon mixture into flour tortillas and roll up. Place seam-side down in a 13x9-inch baking pan that’s been coated with nonstick spray.
  4. Pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 20 minutes. Garnish with whatever optional toppings you desire!

I am so glad you got the "honey badger" comment. I mentioned it to my daughter and she was worried no one would get it. :-) We keep up! lol I love enchiladas, too. May try these one time with salsa verde instead of red enchilada sauce.
