| 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. | 2. In a small saucepan, heat enchilada sauce, tomato sauce and chili powder together over low heat. | 3. In a medium skillet, fry ground beef over med. high heat until browned. Remove all but 1-2 tablespoons of fat, then add onion and cook approximately five minutes longer until onion is translucent. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. | 4. Heat vegetable oil (about 1/2" deep) in skillet to 350 degrees, or until it bubbles around the end of a wooden spoon. Working one by one, drop a tortilla in and let cook approximately 30 seconds, or until limp. Remove from oil & drain on paper towels, layering each tortilla between two towels. | 5. (For a lower fat version, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for one to two minutes, or until limp/pliable. | 6. Pour enough sauce into the bottom of a greased 13x9" pan, to approximately 1/8" thick. Begin filling tortillas with 3 tbls. beef mixture and 2 tbls. grated cheese. Roll up, and place tortillas fold-side down, until all tortillas have been used. Pour the rest of the sauce evenly over the top of the enchildas. | 7. Bake for twenty minutes, or until you see the sauce bubbling. Sprinkle the additional cheese on top, then bake for five more minutes. | 8. Serve with refried beans and rice. | 9. *This can be made a day or two in advance and kept in the refrigerator; can even be frozen. Baking time will need to be adjusted accordingly. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
