Meanwhile, spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in bottom of 13 x 9 pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Spread 1/2 cup meat mixture onto tortilla and roll. Place enchiladas seam side down into pan. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with 1 c cheese. Bake at 350 for 10- 20 min. Makes 10- 12 enchiladas.

     I had errands to run yesterday so I left my boyfriend with the recipe and everything laid out for him. He complained that it took to long, and it was turkey NOT beef... BUT when all was said and done, he was surprised that he REALLY liked them!As he didn't think he would! Will def make again! - 1/27/09

     This was a great recipe. My fussy 14-year old ate it with no complaints. I froze some too for use later. - 1/21/09

     WOW! Yummy! My husband loved it, my son asked for seconds, and then thirds (which he did not get) and my 3 yr old daughter ate almost half (she is my picky eater). Great recipe, have passed it on to friends! - 1/12/09
