How to Make Over The Top Enchiladas

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add 1 packet taco seasoning and water as directed on the packet to the browned beef. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  3. Stir in 1 cup cooked rice, 1 cup cooked beans (pinto, black, or your favorite!), and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted and the mixture is heated through.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Warm 12 corn or flour tortillas (6-inch diameter) to prevent breaking. You can warm them in the microwave, oven, or on a dry skillet.
  7. Fill each tortilla with approximately 1/4 cup of the beef mixture, being careful not to overfill.
  8. Fold tortillas over the filling and roll tightly, placing seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  9. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (10 ounce) can of enchilada sauce, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chiles. Mix well.
  10. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  11. Sprinkle generously with 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  13. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite salsa on the side.
