How to Make Green Chile Enchiladas

  1. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp garlic powder and cook, breaking the beef into crumbles, until no longer pink.
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup chopped onion. Set aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed chicken soup, 1/2 cup milk, and 8 ounces velveeta cheese, cubed.
  5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Stir in 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained, 1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained, and 1 packet taco seasoning mix.
  7. Fill a large skillet with about 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  8. Working one at a time, use tongs to dip 12 corn tortillas into the boiling water for 2-3 seconds, until slightly softened.
  9. Remove tortillas and immediately spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mixture onto each tortilla.
  10. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  11. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  12. Bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
  13. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
