Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup soft cream cheese
  • 4 6-inch tortillas
  • 3/4 pound ground beef or pork
  • 8 ounces can stewed tomatoes
  • 4 ounces can diced green chile peppers
  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, mild
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese, Mexican style

Preparation:

Spread about 2 tablespoons cream cheese onto each tortilla; fold tortillas in half. Set aside.

In a 1 1/2 quart microwaveable casserole dish, crumble the ground beef or pork. Microwave, covered, on high for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes, until no pink remains, stirring once. Drain off fat.

Stir in undrained tomatoes, undrained chilis, enchilada sauce, and cumin. Cook, covered, on high for 5 to 7 minutes or until heated through. Spoon about three-fourths of the meat mixture into a 12x7x2 microwave safe baking dish. Arrange folded tortillas on top of the meat mixture. Spoon remaining meat mixture over the tortillas.

Cover with wax paper. Cook on high for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Serves 4.

Don't taste like I thought it would.June 01, 2008By LindseyAnne
"Not much flavor. I was expecting something more like mexican food and it just wasn't right. The recipe takes forever to make and It really wasn't worth it."
