Beef Enchiladas

Brown hamburger with salt & pepper. Mix in the onions, sour cream & cheese.

Combine the next 8 ingredients & bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Pour into a 9 inch pie plate. Dip the tortillas, both sides, into the sauce and add approximately 1/4 cup of beef mix. Roll & place seam side down in an ungreased 9X13 pan.

Pour extra sauce over the enchiladas & bake.

Serve with sour cream & cheese. I also serve it with rice.
