ENCHILADAS 
2 lbs. ground beef
3 tbsp. oil
1 med. onion, chopped
3 c. water
1/4 c. flour
3 tbsp. chili powder (called Mendo spice)
2 c. shredded cheese or 6-8 slices processed cheese, cut in halves
12 corn tortillas

Brown ground meat, drain, add about 3 tablespoons oil, add flour and brown lightly. Add Mendo spice, add water while stirring and simmer until it becomes like a gravy. (Note - if it is too thin add 2 tablespoons cornstarch which has been dissolved in cool water). Remove from heat. In a 10 x 13 inch pan pour a little gravy on the bottom. Dip your corn tortilla in gravy and set in pan with slotted spoon. Gather meat and spoon into tortilla. Add cheese and onion. Roll tortilla. Repeat until all tortillas are used. Spread remaining meat and gravy on top with cheese and onion. Place in 350 degree oven until cheese melts.
