Quick beef enchiladas
This recipe is a beef version of my Cheatin' chicken enchiladas.
I've used my homemade Tex mex seasoning but you could use a packet of commercial taco seasoning. I've deliberately not used a spicy sauce as the contrast between the spicy beef and the tomato soup might be interesting.
