Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick spray.

  3. Drain excess fat, reduce heat to low and add 1 cup of red enchilada sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Warm corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds, fill them with the beef mixture, sprinkle cheese, roll and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with leftover cheese.
