Servings Enchiladas

In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
Stir in taco seasoning, tomato paste, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat your oven to 375F.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Test the oil temperature by dipping a corner of a tortilla in. If it sizzles, the oil is hot enough.
Using tongs, carefully add a tortilla to the hot oil. Fry for 10-15 seconds, then flip and fry the other side for another 10-15 seconds. (You want them softened, not crispy). Transfer the fried tortilla to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Lay a tortilla flat and add a spoonful of ground beef mixture and about one tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down the baking dish. Repeat until the dish is filled.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Top with shredded cheese and bake for 15 minutes,
Let the enchiladas cool slightly before serving.

You can use any type of cheese you like, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend.

For a spicier enchilada, add a diced jalapeno pepper to the ground beef mixture.
