Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 2 lbs ground beef

• 2 place a thin layer of enchilada sauce into about a 9x13 baking dish, just enough to fill the bottom.
• 3 place 1/4 to 1/2 cup of beef mixture into tortilla. roll as you would a burrito and place into baking dish. repeat 8 times until baking dish is full.
• 4 pour remaining enchilada sauce into baking dish, ensuring no tortilla is visible upon doing so. dish will be near 2/3 full of sauce, this is okay.
• 5 top wraps with any remaining beef mixture, spread evenly.
• 6 spread cheese over baking dish, ensure each wrap has been topped with cheese. its not uncommon to create an entire layer of cheese over top of the wraps.
• 7 spread remaining green onions over cheese layer.
• 8 bake in oven for about 20 minutes, until sauce is warmed and cheese is melted.
• 9 scoop each out onto a plate with a spatula or large spoon, top with sauce from pan if desired.
