Steps:

• Cook the beef in a large pot; drain well when done.

• add some cheddar cheese, I usually add approx 1 cup (leave some for topping).
• add salt and pepper to taste.
• let this mixture warm on the stove a few minutes just to melt the cheese.
• Turn off.
• Warm the shells a few at a time in the microwave on a plate with a slightly damp paper towel on top.
• Place 2 ice cream scoop sizes of meat mixture in the middle of the shell, roll up and place seam side down in a lightly buttered 9x13 pan (you will need more than one pan).
• Once you have rolled them all and placed in pans, brush lightly with butter or margarine.
• spread remaining salsa on top (I like to use lots and have some left over if anyone wants to add more).
• sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Place in a warm oven 200-250F approx 10-15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
• Serve with extra salsa and sour cream.
• This is a recipe that can be made for a small supper feeding 4-6 or can be made for 10 or more depending on how many shells you buy and the size of shells I buy large ones.
• This is very filling so I don't add anything to the meal.
• It is easy and inexpensive to make and not one person I have ever made it for did not LOVE it.

CHEESY BAKED BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, or until the chicken is fully coated. Toss until evenly combined. Stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Working one burrito at a time, lay a tortilla on a cutting board or clean working service. Add a scoopful each of rice and beans to the center. Add the chicken mixture then top with a small handful each of both cheeses. Reserve about ½ cup of cheese total to sprinkle on the burritos before baking. Roll the burrito tightly and place in a large casserole dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the burritos then sprinkle the extra cheeses on top. Cover until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
