Beef Enchiladas with Red Sauce
The base of this recipe came from Our Best Bites, but of course I have made my own modifications. I usually don't have Enchilada Sauce on hand so I've made my own that my family really enjoys. Of course that recipe is also included. Even my 3 year old asks for seconds of this dinner.

Top rolled tortillas with enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
To add a little more spice, add more chili powder to the Enchilada sauce (I cut the original amount from the recipe in half). You could also add Hot Sauce to give it a little zing.
