BEEF ENCHILADAS 
1/2 lb. ground beef or ground turkey
2 tbsp. chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 tbsp. chopped green chilies (opt.)
1 can (10 oz.) mild enchilada sauce, divided
6 corn tortillas, 7 inch diameter

Crumble ground beef into 1 quart casserole. Add onion and salt. Microwave at high 2 to 3 minutes or until meat is done. Drain. Stir in 1 cup cheese, 1/4 cup of the sauce and the chilies. Set aside. Soften tortillas by placing between paper towels. Microwave on high 30 to 45 seconds; or until hot to the touch. Spoon 1/2 cup meat filling down center of each tortilla. Roll up.

Place seam side down in 12 x 8 inch baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over filled tortillas. Cover with wax paper. Microwave on high 5 to 6 minutes. Top with remaining cheese. Microwave uncovered at high for 1 1/2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Garnish with shredded lettuce and sour cream.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
