Serves/Makes: 36
Ready in: 30-60 minutes

  • 3 pounds ground beef
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • garlic salt, to taste
  • ground cumin, to taste
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cans (15 ounce size) chili (without beans)
  • 15 ounces water
  • 36 corn tortillas
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cut in cubes
  • 1 can (10 ounce size) Ro-Tel tomatoes with green chiles
  • sour cream, optional
  • shredded lettuce, optional
  • sliced avocado, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, green bell pepper, and onion and cook, stirring, until the beef is cooked and the vegetables are soft. Drain off excess fat then stir in the garlic salt and cumin to taste.

Heat another skillet over medium heat and add the canned chili along with the water. Stir to mix well and heat through. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet with the chili to soften. Quickly remove it with tongs and place it on a work surface (such as a plate, cutting board, or piece of waxed paper). Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture on the tortilla. Sprinkle with some of the shredded cheeses and then roll the tortilla up. Repeat with remaining corn tortillas, beef, and shredded cheese. Place, seam side down, in a baking dish.

Combine the Velveeta and tomatoes in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted. Stir in any remaining ground beef mixture. Pour the cheese enchilada sauce over the top of the filled corn tortillas. Top with any remaining shredded cheese.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F or until heated through. Serve hot. Add sour cream, shredded lettuce, and sliced avocado on the side, if desired.
