Here's another recipe that I made last week, but am just now posting..."Beef Enchiladas!" My mother-in-law, Alma Flores, submitted this recipe into my recipe book. The first time I ever made the enchiladas was about two years ago when I was living in Michigan, and somehow I did something that made the tortillas hard and chewy. So before I made them this time, I talked to my mother-in-law about the little problem I had, and she said I probably left them in the oven too long. Therefore, this time I left them in the oven just until the cheese melted, and then quickly took them out to avoid the same thing happening again...and voila!

Beef Enchiladas
from the kitchen of Alma Flores
1 lb ground beef (chicken or cheese can be substituted)
12 corn tortillas
1 small bag shredded cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
1 cube bouillon seasoning
cooking oil for lightly frying tortillas
In large skillet, brown ground beef and drain. After draining, add seasoning to meat; cover and set aside. Prepare a glass pan; line with foil and set aside. Heat a skillet with cooking oil until hot. Lightly fry one tortilla at a time, leaving them soft. Turn over after a couple of seconds, then set aside, stacking them like pancakes until all are done and ready to be filled. Fill each tortilla with meat, roll into a taquito, and place side by side into glass pan until full. Pour sauce over taquitos, liberally. Top with shredded cheese, spreading lightly or liberally, depending on your love for cheese. Cover with foil, and bake in oven at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

After these came out of the oven, I scarfed two of them down like there was no tomorrow! I also made rice (that recipe also came from my mother-in-law) and warmed up some refried beans to go with my meal. Needless to say, I had a delicious meal that night, and for lunch the next day too. :) And I still have two servings in my freezer for another day. I don't have many tips for this recipe except, as I stated above, only leave them in the oven until the cheese melts. Otherwise, you will have chewy tortillas, which isn't fun for anyone. Other than that, it's pretty easy, and very tasty!
I would like to thank my wonderful mother-in-law for providing me with this recipe, and many others. And for teaching me how to make tortillas a few months ago. That was a very fun experience! :) We didn't make them completely from scratch since we used a pre-made mix, but we did roll them out and cook them ourselves! Here are some pictures from that day...
Well folks, I'm off to bed! Once again, I'm not sure what I'll be making this week, but I know I'll have fun doing it! Nighty night!
"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:1-2
