Shredded Beef Enchiladas
"A delishous enchilada recipe that takes a while to make, but well worth it. We usually make 2 platters of this, 1 plain enchilada and 1 "spicy". To split the recipe, after adding the diced chilis and taco seasoning, remove half the meat and doctor the rest up. 16 tortillas will fill a 9x13"

Mother of 3 great kids - 17, 15 and 13 months! Yes I am a little crazy.
I recently learned to cook when my mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2001(whom we recently lost this past October 2007).
