  • ½ c diced hot pepper of your choice
  • ½ c diced bell pepper
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp hot sauce
  • 1½ c shredded cheese of your choice
  • 2 10oz enchilada sauce

Instructions
 

  • Dice your onion, hot peppers, and pepper. Gather your cumin, chili powder, hot sauce, shredded cheese, broth, and enchilada sauce
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  • Brown your ground beef and then add the veggies. saute until the onions are tender.
  • Mix in the cumin, chili powder, hot sauce, broth, and approx 3/4 c of the enchilada sauce and cook for 5 minutes to mix all thoroughly.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave with a damp paper cloth on top for about 30 seconds.
  • Add some of the mixture to a tortilla, along with some shredded cheese. Roll it up and place it seam side down in the casserole dish. Continue using all of the mixture. The corn tortillas may crack open but don't worry about it.
  • Once the casserole dish is full and the mixture has been used up, pour the rest of the enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese last..
  • Put it in the oven and bake it for 15-20 minutes. Let it sit for 5 minutes and serve.

Notes

  1. You can use whatever hot peppers you'd like and/or how much depending on how spicy you like yours. I like mine mild. 
  2. You can also use your favorite shredded cheese. Sometimes we use jalapeno cheese mixed with cheddar.
  3. I prefer to use corn tortillas but you may use flour. The flour tortillas, however, do become a bit soggy. 
  4. Sometimes I buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken and use it in place of ground beef.
