Every time I make these enchiladas, they go really fast. Fix them for a speedy weeknight meal, a neighborhood potluck or even a tailgate. —Karen Moore, Jacksonville, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onion
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon canned chopped green chiles
  • 6 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • Shredded lettuce and sour cream, optional

Directions

  • 1. Crumble beef into a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish; add onion. Microwave, covered, on high until beef is no longer pink, 2-3 minutes; drain. Stir in 1 cup cheese, 1/4 cup enchilada sauce and green chiles.
  • 2. Place about 1/2 cup beef mixture off center on each tortilla. Roll up and place in a greased 11x7-in. microwave-safe dish, seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce.
