To Prepare Meat Mixture:

Heat the tortillas until they become soft and pliable. Place a small amount of meat mixture, a small amount of cheese mixture, and a few strands of shredded cheese inside each tortilla. Roll the tortillas into tight cylinders and place them in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top the tortillas with any remaining meat and cheese mixture, enchilada sauce, and additional shredded cheese.

Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
