• 4 drain beef then return to stove with 1/4 cup sauce mixture and a handful of cheese. stir constantly until melted and bubbly.
• 5 microwave the tortillas for 30-45 seconds to soften. spoon meat mixture into tortillas and roll up. lay seam side down in 13x9 greased casserole dish.
• 6 once enchiladas are assembled, cover with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce bubbles, cheese begins to brown, and the exposed parts of the tortillas are toasted.
