½ pound ground beef

½ packet taco seasoning about 1-2 tablespoons

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350º F.

Spray tortillas with spray oil on both sides.

Set aside to cool.

Step 2:

Increase heat to 400° F.

Stir together enchilada sauce and salsa. Set aside.

In a large skillet, brown and and crumble the ground beef.

Sprinkle taco seasoning over, then add water and stir.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat.

Simmer until thickened.

Place another tortilla on top.

Slather about two tablespoons of enchilada sauce mixture on top, then sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of the sauce.
