1 lb ground beef
1/2 onion ((chopped))
1 (12oz) bag tortilla chips
1 (28oz) can red enchilada sauce ((the big one))
1 cup salsa
1 (32oz) bag Mexican cheese blend ((the large bag))

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, sauté the onion until soft. Add the ground beef and brown (no need to drain the grease).
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Break up the chips a bit (while still in the bag), and place everything except for 2 large cups of reserved cheese (for topping later) into your baking dish.
  • Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined. Make sure the mixture is evenly distributed on the bottom of the pan, and then top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, avocado, jalapeño, chives or anything else you'd like!

10 ounce can of enchiladas sauce
4 ounces cream cheese
1.5 cups of your favorite salsa
4 ounce can of chopped green chilies (undrained)
8 flour tortillas (6 inches)
1 cup of shredded Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • Next, cover with the remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle with cheese.
  • Step Three
  • Finally, cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated throughout.
  • Take out of the oven and serve!
