I love all kinds of Mexican/ Tex-Mex food. And I love that kids can have a hand at making their own enchiladas. It’s so much fun for them to help in the kitchen. My kids loved making these with me. They enjoy filling the tortillas, rolling them up and then topping them with sauce and cheese.
Swap out the beef for chicken or even lamb. You can pick and choose which protein suits you and your family.

Preheat the oven to 180c.
Brown the beef and onions in a large pan until well browned. Drain the fat.

Spread 1/2 sauce over the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pyrex baking dish. Add 1/3 cup of beef into each tortilla. Add 1/4 cup grated cheese to each one. Roll it up tightly.
Lay them seam side down into the dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. Place them as close together as possible. Spread the remaining beef over the tortillas.
