Quick Enchiladas

Tonight my mom and I needed to make a quick dinner. We made it up as we went along and it was DELICIOUS and really EASY!

Ingredients:
2 cans roast beef (12oz)
1/2 sweet onion
olive oil or veg oil
1 can medium enchilada sauce (red)
8 flour tortillas
graded cheese
optional: guacamole, salsa, sour cream

Directions:
-Start by pre heating the oven to 375
-Then cut the onion into small pieces. Add a little olive oil to a pan and start to saute the onions on medium heat.
-In a separate pan (on medium heat) place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle cheese on top. Allow the cheese to to start to melt and then flip the tortilla over so the cheese gets crunchy on the tortilla. As soon as you flip the tortilla add cheese to the other side. When cheese starts to melt flip it over again. This side doesn't take as long to cook. It might look a little burnt, but its not. (The key is to make sure the cheese is cooked until it is crispy, so it will stick to the tortilla, other wise it will stick to the pan.) Put the tortilla with cheese on both sides on a separate plate.
-Continue this step with all 8 tortillas, while still watching the onions : )
-When the onions are clear, add the two cans of roast beef to the pan along with half the can of enchilada sauce.
-Add the beef mix to the tortillas in the center, like enchiladas.
-Roll the tortillas and to keep closed add a toothpick (since the cheese is crunchy, they don't roll easily)
-Place the rolled up tortillas in a 9 by 13 pan and place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Serve with guacamole, salsa, and sour cream. (I just ate it with guacamole and it was really good.)
* you can also change the meal and use chicken instead of beef and use green chili enchilada sauce instead of the red.
