<p>Here&#8217;s a super-easy 3-ingredient main dish recipe that&#8217;s a snap to make!</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>Ground Beef<br />
Flour Tortillas (burrito size)<br />
Shredded cheese</p>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>Cook ground beef in a non-stick frying pan for 5 minutes, or until cooked through (no longer pink).  Remove cooked ground beef from the frying pan into a bowl.</p>
<p>Put flour tortilla on a frying pan.  Sprinkle shredded cheese on 1/2 of the tortilla.  Add some ground beef on top of the cheese.  Top the ground beef with another layer of shredded cheese.  Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the cheese, so the tortilla is folded in half.</p>
<p>The cheese on both sides &#8220;glues&#8221; the ground beef to the tortilla, so the whole thing doesn&#8217;t fall apart :)</p>
<p>Cook the filled tortilla over medium-high heat for 3 minutes (or until golden-brown), then flip with a spatula and cook on the other side for 3 minutes or until done.</p>
<p>Make more beef quesadillas until you run out of the filling.</p>

<p>This beef enchiladas recipe tastes very authentic, and goes really well with <a href="http://www.melaniecooks.com/guacamole-recipe/6/">guacamole</a>!</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients For Beef Enchiladas Recipe:</strong></p>
<p>10 corn tortillas<br />
1 lb ground beef<br />
1 onion, chopped<br />
4 garlic cloves, minced<br />
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce<br />
1 bunch of cilantro (leaves chopped, stems discarded)<br />
1 package (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese<br />
1 tbsp chili powder<br />
1 tsp cumin<br />
1 tbsp oil<br />
Salt and pepper to taste</p>
<p><strong>Directions How To Make Beef Enchiladas:</strong></p>
<p>Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.  Add chopped onion and cook, stirring periodically, for 5 minutes.  Add ground beef, sprinkle with chili powder and cumin, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring periodically, for 7 minutes, or until cooked through (no longer pink).</p>
<p>Add garlic and 1/2 of the can of the tomato sauce.  Stir and cook for 3 minutes.</p>
<p>Turn off the heat.  Add chopped cilantro and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and stir to combine.   Add salt and pepper to taste. The filling for the beef enchiladas is ready.</p>
<p>Add water to the remaining tomato sauce in a can so the can is full, and stir with a spoon.   Pour 1/4 of the tomato sauce and water mixture on the bottom of the 8&#215;12 baking dish, and spread so it covers the bottom of the dish.</p>
<p>Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave: 3 at a time, for 30 seconds.  After you heat the first 3 tortillas, assemble 3 enchiladas, then heat 3 more tortillas, etc.</p>
<p>To assemble the enchilada, put a heaping tablespoon of the beef filling on top of the tortilla, then roll the tortilla into a roll.  Put on a baking dish seam side down.  Put all assembled enchiladas in that baking dish next to each other.</p>
<p>Pour the remaining tomato sauce (that was mixed with water) on top of the enchiladas.  Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.  Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes.</p>
