Iowa Enchiladas

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 8 flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the meat is fully cooked and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, diced green chilies, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a small amount of the meat mixture on the bottom to prevent sticking.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the meat mixture into each tortilla, then sprinkle a little cheddar cheese before rolling it up and placing it seam side down in the baking dish.
  6. Once all the tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining sauce mixture over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions for an extra touch.
