Ground Beef Enchiladas

These Ground Beef Enchiladas are so simple to make and taste amazing. One of our very favorite meals ever! They will become an instant classic!

My mom has been known over the years  to save “a few” recipes from the newspaper (okay, so by a few, I really mean A LOT!).  She has some saved newspapers that go back probably as far the 1970’s.  She also has recipes written on the back of “junk mail” envelopes and/or scrap pieces of paper.  We’ve had some good laughs over the years about her recipe collection. But the funny thing is, if I ever call her for one of those recipes, she knows right where it is.  I’ve told her that when she dies I get her recipe collection.

So this recipe that I am sharing today happens to be from one of the newspaper recipes that she saved from at least 20 years ago. These enchiladas are so good.  I remember the first time my mom made them we knew the recipe was a keeper. They are simple to make and absolutely deee-lish-ous!!  My boys LOVE them . . . even my two pickiest eaters will ask for seconds! Yep, every time I eat one of these I am most definitely glad that my cute mom has always had a recipe fetish.

Notes

I like to use flour tortillas just because they hold together much better when you roll them up.
