Enchiladas

3 T. vegetable oil  

2 T. flour

1 tsp. garlic powder  

1 onion, chopped

1 small can green chilies  

5 T. chili powder

24 oz.  tomato paste  

2 cups water

1 pkg. tortillas  

16 oz. sharp cheddar

2 lb. browned hamburger  

Salsa

Sour cream

Directions:  To make sauce, combine onion, garlic and vegetable oil in a sauce pan 

and sauté until onion is soft.  Add flour and chili powder; blend.  Add tomato paste, 

green chilies, and water.  Simmer until thicken.

Brown hamburger.  Shred cheese.

To make enchiladas:  Grease baking pan.  Spread a few spoonfuls of sauce on 

bottom to ensure tortillas do not stick.  Place heaping spoonful of hamburger and 

handful of shredded cheese in middle of tortilla.  Add some sauce.  Roll up tortilla 

and place in pan.

When all tortillas are in the pan, pour remaining sauce over top.  Cover with 

aluminum foil.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Remove foil and add remaining 

cheese.  Return to oven until cheese melts.  Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Comment:  Fantastic.  Add taco ships and Spanish rice and you’ve got a great meal.  

San substitute shredded chicken for hamburger.  I generally dice another onion and 

brown with the hamburger.
