These are a very tasty and unique beef enchiladas. The only thing I did differently was to add some very generous dashes of chili powder, cumin, and oregano to the ground beef while cooking, then I stirred in a 3 packets of taco sauce from a fast food place. I also waited to add the cheese to the meat mixture until it was cooler so I wouldn't end up with a globby mess. Make sure you stir continuously when adding the velveta to the soup mix, ut can get "glumpy" if not. I might cut back a little on the dip mix, not using the whole packet, but maybe 3/4, it was a tad on the salty side. This was great with Mexican rice and salsa on the side. This will be a repeat here!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
