Beefiladas

Submitted by Susie in Texas

"These are very easy and versatile. You can even use leftover homemade chili, if you have some on hand. Note, these enchiladas are made with flour tortillas because we like them the best, but you may use corn tortillas for a more traditional enchilada."

Excellent Beefiladas! I just happened to have some leftover chili and decided this would be perfect. I topped the Beefiladas with chopped green onions and cheese and they were yummy.

I wanted to try this recipe because I LOVE Wolf Brand chili (can eat it cold out of the can). The filling was excellent and the jalapenos gave just the right amount of bite without being too overpowering. I like flour tortillas the best, too, so that is what I used. Topped with the cheddar cheese and chopped green onion. Hearty and deeelicious. Thanks Susie. ;)

This was great! I altered the recipe a little based on what I had on hand. I only had one can of chili on hand and one pound of hamburger, so I used half a can of chili in the meat and half of a can of enchilada sauce. Then I mixed the remaining enchilada sauce with the remaining half can of chili to pour over the filled tortillas. It turned awesome! This will be made again in my house!
