Easy Three-Step Enchilidas

40750 picture(NAPSI)-There's more to make-at-home Mexican fare than crispy taco "sandwiches." It's time to move up to enchiladas-they're just as easy to make and feature many of the familiar flavors your family already loves.

This Easy Beef Enchiladas recipe requires only four basic ingredients. But you can make the enchiladas your own way by adding your favorite ingredients to the filling.

Instead of corn tortillas, the recipe uses flour tortillas, which are easier to fill and roll for enchiladas. And, it calls for a new, convenient 19-oz. can of enchilada sauce that's just the right amount for a large casserole dish, or you can use two 10-oz. cans. Keep extra sauce in the cupboard to make enchiladas whenever your taste buds yearn for something Mexican.

1 lb. ground beef 1 (19-oz.) or 2 (10-oz.) cans Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce
6 oz. (1 1/2 cups) shredded cheese
