'I created these enchiladas to satisfy several picky eaters in our house,' explains Stacy Cizek of Conrad, Iowa. 'They were an instant hit and are now requested at least once a week. I especially like that we can enjoy this meal twice by freezing half for a later (and busier) day.'

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 cups cooked rice

  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in rice. Cook and stir until liquid is evaporated. Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans, 1/4 cup beef mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese down the center of each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in two greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dishes.

  2. Combine salsa and soup; pour down the center of enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake one casserole, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Cover and freeze remaining casserole for up to 3 months.

Tips

To use frozen casserole: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-10 minutes longer or until heated through and cheese is melted.
