Directions

In a large skillet, brown meat and drain.

Add onion and chile or enchilada sauce.

Spoon about 3 tbsp of meat filling in center of each tortilla.

Fold tortilla, tucking in ends, and fasten with wooden toothpicks.

Only assemble 2 or 3 at a time as tortilla will absorb liquid from sauce.

In a large frying pan, with 1 inch of oil over medium heat, fry folded tortilla, turning until golden about 1 to 2 minutes.

Drain on paper towels and keep warm.

Garnish with cheese, lettuce, and onion.
