This recipe is from a friend of mine who made a family cookbook of their favorite recipes. We have really enjoyed the cookbook and I will be posting more of her recipes. For the enchiladas, I have made them with the original recipe (listed below) and then last night I didn't have all the right ingredients, so I used a can of RoTel that had the lime and cilantro in place of the can of green chilies. I also used Taco Seasoning instead of a packet from the store (I didn't have any on hand). I also always use the flour tortillas that you can buy at Costco that you cook yourself. These enchiladas have a bit of spice to them. They might be too spicy for some and not enough for others, they are perfect for us!!

SERVES 5 -8 , 8 -9 enchiladas (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef, browned off
1/2 chopped onion
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1/2 cup beef broth
1 (14 ounce) can mild enchilada sauce
8-9 flour tortillas
3-4 cups shredded cheese

Directions

1
Brown the ground beef and onion.
2
Stir in taco seasoning mix, refried beans, green chilies, beef broth, and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce.
3
Cool on medium heat until thick.
4
Stir occasionally for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.
5
Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the mixture and a small handful of cheese.
6
Roll tight and place them seam side down, side by side in a 13x9-inch baking pan.
7
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
8
Bake on 350°F for 15-20 minutes.

Looking through my cupboard, I found there were multiple cans of enchilada sauce and also of refried beans. This was the perfect recipe to help use them up! I used 1-1/2 pounds of beef and did not add the chilis. Instead, when serving, I added chopped green onions, lettuce and fresh tomatoes on the side. These were so YUMMY! And the leftovers are something to look forward to, as well.

These really hit the spot on a cold winter night. I used Mucho Gusto Taco Seasoning Mix and Mexican Enchilada Sauce, along with 96% lean ground beef, fat-free refried beans, and reduced-fat cheese to lighten them up. I made eight enchiladas, using about 1/2 cup filling in each one, and divided them between two 8-inch square dishes; I baked one for dinner and froze the other for later. Between the two dishes, I used the entire enchilada sauce recipe, so I definitely used more than the 14 ounces called for. They turned out delicious, and fortunately, we have more in the freezer to look forward to. Thanks for sharing your friend's recipe!

These were some of the best enchiladas I've had outside of a good Mexican restaurant. I could hardly wait until I could have the leftovers for lunch the next day.
