Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, combine Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp), Water (2 cups), and Diced Tomatoes (1 can) and bring to a boil. Stir in the Spanish Rice (1 pckg) and cook according to the package directions.
step 3
While the rice cooks, in a large skillet, heat Oil (1 Tbsp) and brown Ground Beef (1 lb) over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
step 4
Once browned and cooked, drain the meat juices and fat from the pan. Stir in cooked Spanish rice mix and Enchilada Sauce (1 can).
step 5
Put about 1/2 cup of the beef and rice mixture in the middle of each 8-Inch Flour Tortillas (6) and top with 1 Tbsp of Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend (2 cups). Roll up and place in a non-greased 13x9-inch baking dish seam side down.
step 6
Continue this process until you have finished all your tortillas.
step 7
Top each tortilla with the remaining Enchilada Sauce (1 can) and the remaining shredded cheese. Bake uncovered until the cheese is melted and the inside is hot; about 10-15 minutes.
step 8
Let the enchiladas set for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. Serve with Fresh Cilantro (to taste) and Sour Cream (to taste) on top.
