Beef ‘n’ Rice Enchiladas

With a toddler in the house, I look for foods that are a snap to make. Loaded with beef, cheese and a flavorful rice mix, these enchiladas come together without a fuss. But they’re so good that guests think I spent hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (6.8 ounces) Spanish rice and pasta mix
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cans (10 ounces each) enchilada sauce, divided
  • 10 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed
  • 1-2/3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare rice mix according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; crumble meat; drain. Stir in Spanish rice and 1-1/4 cups enchilada sauce.
  • Spoon about 2/3 cup beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese; roll up.
  • Place in an ungreased 13×9-in. baking dish. Top with the remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake, uncovered until the cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes.
