The only reason i couldn't give this five stars is because the meat was bland prior to me making modificaitons. I spiced it up with the "Taco Seasoning I" recipe from this site as well as two jars of enchilada sauce in the place of the dry mix. These are the best beef enchiladas i have made.

I made these for my husband as I am a vegetarian. He grew up eating authentic Mexican but has not had much since we have been married. :) Anyway, he said he definitely enjoyed the meal, but said that I should still try other enchilada recipes...he thought there should be more inside the tortillas than just the plain meat and cheese. I think next time I will try a recipe that has cream cheese or sour cream in the mixture.

These are wonderful! OK so they are not made with the "authentic" corn tortillas, but it doesn't say anywhere in the title or recipe that they are authentic. Some people prefer flour over corn, I used whole wheat flour tortillas (nothing traditional or authentic about that!) and they were still really good. Atleast this recipe doesn't have cream of something or other soup in it. I did go the more traditional way and fried the tortillas then dipped them in the enchilada sauce before filling them with the meat mixture. This method is very measy and not sure if it is really neccesary. I did use a canned enchilada sauce that I mixed with one can of jalapeno salsa. I didn't use the black olives didn't have any! Great recipe and will make again. Thank you.

These were wonderful!! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I believe, like others, that TRUE enchiladas should be made with corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas! My family loved these including my 6 yr old who is pretty picky!

This is my daughters favorite meal. I sometimes substitute chicken in place of the beef, and stir in some sour cream to the enchilada sauce.

These were great!! The only thing I changed about them was after buying the dry enchilada mix I realized that I didn't have tomato sauce to mix it with like the package said so I used some leftover stewed tomatoes, and they made these incredible!!!! And of course a little extra cheese before baking and sour cream before serving, yummy!!!

My family and I loved these! I did add taco seasoning to the meat once it was cooked. This added lots of flavor! Used enchilada sauce from a can to save time. Will definitely make this again!

I make Mexican food all the time. These to me would be only good if 1. you fried the tortillas first before filling them and the 2. you dipped the fried (not-yet-filled) tortillas in enchilada sauce front and back, then after that lay them in the casserole dish and begin to fill w/ the meat, cheese, and onions

Good recipe but it needs something more. Maybe rice in the enchiladas and more sauce? I just found it a little lacking.

Didn't have enchilada packet but it was so easy to make with the TEN MINUTE ENCHILADA SAUCE (On AR) so it made it all the better with homemade sauce! I used venison burger and what a great way to disguise it! Added some mild green chilies cuz I had them....this is really a cheap and quick dinner!I used corn tortillas and dipped them in the enchilda sauce to soften...a little messy but worked great, since I had the homemade sauce on the stove anyhow! Another Keeper!

Loved this quick and easy recipe. Doubled it and added geen chilies and garlic along with the ground beef. You can add hot sauce to the mix if you want. It is so easy you can add whatever you like. Thanks for an easy great recipe.

I added some powdered garlic and cumin to the beef mixture so it would have more flavor. Used canned enchilada sauce. Recommend using whole wheat tortillas. They don't get soggy like flour ones and taste better and easy to use than corn.

I don't know if the person that wrote this recipe has ever had "real" enchiladas....but these are not them. Pretty tasty (I mean how can you go wrong with groung beef and onions) just kind of plain tasting.

Yummy! I only gave it 4 stars because I had to add some things to it to give it some zing. First time I made it, I followed directions exactly. Second time I made it, I added a few dashes of garlic powder, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. Only a very small amount of the hot stuff as I have little kids who wouldn't like it too hot. Also, the second time I made it, I used a combo of cheddar and monteray jack cheese to both the insides and the top. With my additions it was delish! Make sure there's enough sauce, though, it needs quite a bit to make the insides saturated enough-I used 3 cans of enchilada sauce and that was perfect.

Exactly the kind of recipe I'm looking for these days - quick, easy, flavorful and with built in clean up time (20 mins in the oven). I prepared the meat with taco seasoning, garlic and onion powders and green chilis. My husband loves this dish and I love that not only do we get leftovers but it calls for flour tortillas. Yes, I would rather go the traditional route with corn tortillas but I can't eat corn. This one goes on the list!
