Enchiladas!

Beef Enchiladas

Ingredients: 1 onion, sliced 1 green pepper, sliced 1 red pepper, sliced 1 clove garlic, minced 1 lb. ground beef 1 1/2 cups salsa 1-15 oz. can chili beans

1-14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained 1 tsp. ground cumin pepper 10 flour tortillas 1 1/2 cups grated cheese 1/2 to 3/4 cup sour cream 2 Tbsp. chopped green onions

Directions: In a very large skillet (12-inch), sauté onion, peppers, garlic and ground beef until beef is browned. Drain excess fat. Add salsa, chili beans, tomatoes, cumin and pepper. Heat thoroughly. Place approximately 1/4 cup meat mixture in center of a tortilla. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. cheese. Bring edges of tortilla together, overlapping slightly to enclose filling. Place, seam side down, in 13" x 9" baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. You will have 8 enchiladas from one end of the dish to the other, then the remaining 2 turned along the edge. Spoon remaining meat sauce over tortillas. Spoon sour cream down center of dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.

I've been making this for quite a while now. As with anything like this, the ingredients aren't set in stone. Don't have a red pepper? Use two green, or 1-1/2, or even one. Use more onion. Use a different kind of beans. Use taco sauce instead of salsa. It's up to you.
