  • 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder more or less for your taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded cheese I like the jack or cheddar combos
  • 1 10 oz can enchilada sauce

  1. If using chicken, boil the chicken in water. Then rinse and shred with a fork. Add onion and garlic.
  2. If using ground beef, brown with onion and garlic, drain.
  3. Add the next 7 ingredients (Worcestershire sauce through black pepper).
  4. In another skillet, heat oil. Add tortillas, one at a time, for 10 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towel.
  5. In 10x13 baking pan, pour just enough enchilada sauce in the bottom to coat the bottom of the pan.
  6. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of meat mixture. Cheese, onions, and/or olives can be put inside each enchilada at this time if desired.
  7. Roll tortilla and place seam side down in a pan. Continue with remaining tortillas.
  8. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas and top with cheese (additional olives may be added if desired). At this time, pan may be refrigerated for several hours or overnight.
  9. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes (30 minutes if refrigerated).
