    List of Ingredients




    24 flour tortillas (10 inch)
    1 1/2 lb sharp cheddar, grated
    oil*

    Sauce
    32 oz canned tomatoes (I use stewed)
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, crushed**
    3 tbsp chili powder
    1/2 tsp cumin
    1/4 tsp oregano
    salt and pepper to taste

    Ground Beef filling:
    2 lb lean ground beef
    1 onion, chopped
    2 tbsp chili powder
    1 tbsp cumin seed
    salt and pepper to taste

    Recipe



    To make sauce:

    Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for about 30 minutes. If you prefer a smooth sauce, put in a blender and blend for about 10 seconds.


    Beef:
    Saute onions in a little oil until golden. Add meat and brown. Drain off fat, then add salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin and 1 c sauce.

    Preheat oven to 325.

    Warm tortillas in oil in skillet (or omit oil and warm in microwave).
    Smear the warm tortillas with some sauce, then fill with about 2 tbsp of the beef. Top with 2 tbsp cheese. Roll.

    Place side by side in a large casserole dish. (This will take 2 casserole dishes).

    Pour remaining sauce evenly over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.

    Cover very loosely with foil and bake at 325 for 20 to 30 minutes - do not overcook.

    *I omit the oil and heat the tortillas in the microwave.
    **I've used garlic from a jar and even dried, minced garlic when I'm in a real hurry.
