Who can resist a hot, bubbly pan of enchiladas? And these are so easy to make! Buying ground beef in bulk will save you even more money - just remember to divide it into smaller portions before freezing so you can defrost just the amount you need. (From Betty Crocker's Money Saving Meals cookbook).
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 (9 ounce) box frozen spinach
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chilies, undrained
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper seasoning
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded colby-monterey jack cheese, blend
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas
1/2 cup salsa
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350. Spray 13x9 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a 12 nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over Medium-High heat 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned; drain.
3. Stir in spinach; cook, stirring frequently, until thawed.
4. Stir in green chiles, cumin, garlic-pepper, sour cream and 1 cup of the cheese.
5. Spread about 1 tsp of enchilada sauce on each tortilla.
6. Top with about 1/2 cup beef mixture.
7. Roll up tortillas; place seam sides down in a baking dish.
8. In a small bowl, mix remaining enchilada sauce and the salsa; spoon over enchiladas.
9. Sprinkle with remaining cup of cheese.
