Beef Enchiladas

BEEF ENCHILADAS

1 pkg. cheddar cheese, grated
1-1/2 to 2 lb. hamburger
1 pkg. enchilada sauce mix, dry
2 pkgs. soft-shell tortillas

Brown the hamburger. Add a dash of salt, pepper and chili powder. Prepare the package of enchilada sauce mix on the stove according to the directions on the package. Drain the hamburger. Set aside.

Deep fry the tortillas in HOT oil, dipping one at a time for only a couple seconds each. Pile the deep-fried tortillas onto paper towels to remove excess oil. Add small amount of enchilada sauce to hamburger, and small amount of sauce in bottom of a 9x11 glass cake pan. Set sauce aside. Spoon 1 heaping tbsp. of hamburger mix onto flat, hot tortilla; add grated cheese. Roll tortilla with hamburger and cheese inside and put rolled tortilla into cake pan. Line rolled tortillas close together to fill the cake pan.

Pour remaining sauce over top of rolled enchiladas, submerging them. Sprinkle remaining grated cheese on top. Bake, covered, at 300 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
