Ground beef, cheese, and tomatoes
Brown the ground beef in a medium skillet with the salt and pepper. Once browned, drain off the grease. Next, add the drained tomatoes and shredded cheese and combine well. The mixture needs to be warm enough for the cheese to start to melt. You can use whatever cheese you like. Cheddar, mozzarella, havarti, swiss, the list goes on!
Rolling and baking the cheeseburger enchiladas
Place about 1/2 cup, or more, of the filling into a tortilla and roll them up. Place the rolled up tortillas, seam side down, into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Spray just a bit of oil on top of the tortillas before baking. Bake at 350 degrees F or until cheese has melted to your liking.
Toppings
In the picture above the mustard and ketchup are put on separately. After we had that I thought it would be great to mix ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. The mix made a nice topping. We also put on banana peppers, diced pickles, diced onions, all the things you like on a hamburger…or cheeseburger!
The amen burger enchiladas are great the next day for lunch or dinner. We have eaten my enchiladas cold or hot. Other ideas I have yet to try is a cheese sauce on top. Cheeseburger enchiladas! Use your imagination and make it your own! This recipe would go great with the strawberry almond salad. The contrast of sweet and savory is delicious!
