Cheesy Beef Enchiladas would be the perfect dish to spice up your menu...on 5 Dollar Dinners!!!

I love love love going out for TexMex food…but I love love love cooking it at home because…it’s so much cheaper! These cheesy beef enchiladas are made with ground beef, salsa and red enchilada sauce. I used the dark red corn tortillas for an “authentic” flavor and look…but regular yellow tortillas work just fune too.

And I served it with simple steamed white rice and warmed refried beans. Because my boys love that combo with their enchiladas…and they polished their plates…and filled their tummies!

Enjoy!
