What I love about these Green Enchiladas with Beef

Soft flour tortillas filled with an easy taco meat filling and cheese, then topped with green enchiladas sauce and more cheese! Seriously the easiest and a great way to change up taco night at your house.

These Green Chile Beef Enchiladas are very simple, yet flavorful, and customizable. I make these with ground beef but chorizo would be good or ground turkey, too. These enchiladas are a great meal to make ahead of time and the n pop in the oven when you are ready. These also make a great freezer meal if you want to double the batch an freeze one.
