Ingredients

  • 3 cups roast beef, shredded, cooked
  • 1 (4-ounce) can green chilies, diced
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 (20-ounce) can red enchilada sauce, (we love our homemade red sauce)
  • 2 ½ cups shredded cheese, divided
  • 12 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the shredded beef, green chilies, corn, and ½ cup enchilada sauce. Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Scoop about ⅓ cup of filling into the middle of each of the tortillas, and sprinkle with cheese (reserving about 1 cup of cheese for the top of the enchiladas). Roll each tortilla up and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled-up tortillas, spreading to cover the tortillas completely. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling. Serve hot.
