Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 3-qt. rectangular baking dish.

Step 2

For filling, in a large skillet cook ground beef until browned. Drain off any fat. Stir in the next five ingredients (through black pepper). Cook and stir over medium heat 2 minutes more. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese and the green onions.

Step 3

Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling onto each tortilla; roll up. Place filled tortillas, seam sides down, in the prepared baking dish. Pour the Enchilada Sauce over the filled tortillas.

Step 4

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through and bubbly around the edges. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes more or until cheese melts. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
