8 corn tortillas
2 cups red enchilada sauce

Warm tortillas on a dry skillet until pliable.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
