The BEST EVER Enchiladas




Ingredients


For the enchiladas:
1 recipe Mexican Style Meat (printable recipe below this recipe)
3-3.5 cups shredded Pepper Jack or Mont. Jack cheese
10-12 flour tortillas, burrito size

For the enchilada sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup minced onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 (8oz) cans tomato sauce
2 (4oz) cans chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
a few splashes of hot sauce to taste (optional)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
For the enchilada sauce:
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Saute the onions until soft & translucent. Add the garlic & saute for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato sauce, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, & hot sauce (if using). Cook on medium/low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
For the enchiladas:

Pour a little bit of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Lay out the flour tortillas & spoon in a few heaping spoonfuls of the Mexican Style Meat. Then spoon in a couple heaping spoonfuls of shredded cheese, to your liking. Roll like a burrito & place in the baking dish. Repeat until all the tortillas are used.
Cover completely with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes.
