Pre - Prepared Items for even Faster Serving Times
Prepare enchiladas through step 3 up to 2 hours ahead.
Store in the refrigerator until baking time. |
Money Savers
To control the fat content and assure the freshest
ground beef, consider grinding bottom round or chuck in a food
processor, pulsing on and off until the desired coarseness is achieved. |
Serving Variation
For a simple low-fat variation, replace the beef with
ground turkey.

Express Tip
To soften tortillas and make them easier to roll,
place them first between 2 sheets of dampened paper towels and then in a
plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. Roll the tortillas 1 at a
time, keeping the others covered until ready to use. |
