Not Yo Mama's Enchilada's

Then again, they might be yo mama's enchilada's. (If so, she totally rocks and we should be friends!) I just thought that sort of title sounds cool too, hehe! Make them mild, medium, spicy, green or red. Whatever floats your boat, tops your ice cream, bakes your burrito. Eh, you get the point. You can also use ground beef, chicken, or (my fav) leftover steak.

1 cup +/- cooked rice
1 can refried beans
1 to 2 cups cooked meat of your choice, cubed or shredded
1 to 2 cups cheese (there is no such thing as too much of a good thing...sometimes)
2 small cans (or one big can) Enchilada sauce (Old El-Paso is a really good brand)
Package of soft tortilla shells

Prepare a 13x9 casserole dish with some pan (from experience, don't miss this step). Stir together rice, one small can (or half of big can) of sauce, one cup of cheese, and meat in a metal bowl (from experience again, trust me when I suggest a metal bowl for this because red enchilada sauce stains plastic bowls, #@$#%!). Smear a tortilla shell with one or two spoonfuls of beans. Top with two spoonfuls of meat mixture. Like this, m'dearie:


Roll up and place in dish. Repeat as many times as necessary until meat mixture is used up. Smother with rest of enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Ring the dinner bell to signal to the troops that dinner is on. Top with sour cream, lettuce, tomato, salsa, jalapenos, etc.
