Our first featured meal under $12.00, Enchilada's, Hot and cheddar filled goodness. This easy meal comes from McCormick's seasoning packet. With 1 pound of ground beef and a .59 cent can of tomato sauce, White corn tortillas and cheddar cheese, This tasty and easy meal comes in way under $12.00 excluding the oven cost of course. Here's how;

 With 1 tablespoon of peanut oil, brown the ground beef and drain the fat. Put 1 and 1/2 cup of water in a medium sauce pan with the tomato sauce and seasoning mix. Bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer and thicken. Add 1/2 cup of sauce to meat and stir to mix. The instructions on the tortillas say to wrap in a moist paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to make pliable. Very handy there. Take a 9 X 13 greased baking pan and fill the tortillas with the meat and roll tight. Once all the meat is used cover the tortillas with the remainder of the sauce then cover with cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes and serve.

 Serves four easily and by the way, with a glass of milk this stays under $12.00
