3. Roll each tortilla around the beef mix, and place in a large roasting dish, seam down

4. Cover with kitchen foil
5. Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C
6. Remove from oven, remove foil and spoon the remaining sauce (approx 1tbsp each) onto the top of each tortilla
7. You can also add grated cheese if you like cheese

8. Return to the oven and bake for additional 20 minutes

Notes

• Traditionally cheese is also added to the topping in the penultimate step but as I don't eat cheese I omit it. The pictures show some that I made for my better half with cheese included.
• Flour tortillas are best suited for tex-mex style enchiladas. For mexican-style use corn tortillas instead
