Because we had some tortillas in the fridge waiting for me to use them up, I thought I would make some enchiladas, for which I also made the Mexican Rice to go along as a yummy side.
I am not particularly keen on ground beef used up as filling, but totally love pork....so that's what I used.
Of course, you can use beef , pork or chicken, even turkey - depending on your particular taste.
As far as cheese is concerned I like to use mild cheddar, but by all means use your fav kind of shredded cheese.
Ok, now let's get cookin' !
Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork

seasonings for the meat: chili powder, cumin, salt - a dash of each
3/4 cup salsa / tomato sauce / salsa
1 cup mild cheddar shredded cheese
tortillas

Arrange the tortillas on your work surface and spoon some filling, then roll and place in a greased Pyrex pan.

At this point you need to pour what's left of the cheese and salsa over the enchiladas and bake for 15-20 minutes and til the cheese is melted and bubbly.
