With a toddler in the house, I look for foods that are a snap to make. Loaded with beef, cheese and a flavorful rice mix, these enchiladas come together with out any fuss. But they're so good that guests think I spent hours in the kitchen. -Jennifer Smith Colona, Illinois

Made a half recipe, used La Preferida mild red chile enchilada sauce and served on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce and chopped tomatoes. Delicious!

Very tasty and easy! This will definitely be a 'regular'.

I made these last night and they were absolutely delicious. I did use the Mexican Rice a Roni instead of the Spanish Rice one because we prefer it, and could not have been happier. Served it up with sour cream, black olive slices and fresh chopped tomato. I also mixed a can of mild with a can of hot enchilada sauce for a bit of heat. I will definitely be making these again.

I took the leftovers of this to work and shared with a co-worker who came over and hugged me after trying them. Now I make extras just to take in for him. Great dish, quick and easy

I loved this, so simple yet delicious! I also added in chopped onions and green peppers into my meat when cooking it. Really hit the spot!

big hit with my 5 year old and husband!! substituted taco sauce for about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce! sooo good!

We love this recipe, but I do add a can of black beans to the meat/rice mixture for a better consistency and it makes it more filling. I can make 2 9x13 pans out of this recipe that way too. (adding more enchilada sauce of course)

I've made this recipe several times! It's quick and easy, and my husband has even made it for his buddies on hunting/fishing trips.

I have made this over and over...My family and friends always ask for the recipe after they taste it...For the Spanish Ric and Pasta Mix--I use the Spanish Rice a Roni and it calls to use chopped tomatoes...I use the tomatoes with jalapeños, and for the enchilada sauce I use medium...It gives it just the right kick...Mmmm!! I'm getting hungry for it again...See ya later...I have enchiladas to do... :)

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick meal one night and this was quick, easy, and delicious!! He is one picky eater and loves this recipe!

Very easy recipe and quite good. I think my rice mix wasn't very spicy. Might add some chili powder next time. And for some reason I ended up with way more than 10 enchiladas! LOL That's okay though, just made for more yummy leftovers. Thanks for the great recipe.

My whole family loved this...great flavor, but not overly spicy for the little ones! Super recipe! Thank you!

mmmmmmm so good! I bought the "mild" enchilada sauce and I may buy the "medium" next time to add some spice to this recipe. I also chopped up some green peppers and added them to the hamburger. This recipe was very simple, easy, and quick!

I thought I had some spanish rice but it was chicken. Instead of going to the store I just used it. It was the kind that is already fixed you just warm it up. It was really very good. I will try this again with the right kind of rice just to see what it should taste like but over all I loved it.

I have never made enchiladas.. this is so easy and both my husband and I agree that it tastes just like it is a dish from a mexican restaurant. I put shredded lettuce and light sour cream on the side to eat it with and it was absolutely delish! This is now a regular in our meal rotation. Great recipe! :)

It is soooo easy to make and you can add other ingredients with it.

Wow! What a wonderful recipe! I always make sure that I have Spanish rice mix in the pantry now. Kids all enjoy it too. I usually make all the enchiladas in two separate dishes, that way I can freeze one and enjoy at a later date. Works well. Thanks for the recipe.
