Easy Enchiladas (Beef or Chicken)

These easy enchiladas are my husband's favorite recipe of mine. Because of the many different options, it is very versatile.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef or 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (I prefer fresh minced)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 teaspoons chili powder (more or less for your taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cups shredded cheese (I like the jack or cheddar combos)
• 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce (I prefer the green sauce)
• olive (optional)
• 12 corn tortillas
• oil

12. Roll tortilla and place seam side down in pan.
