Enchiladas

This has to be one of my favorite foods.

It's filling, cheap, easy to make and tastes great!

What you will need:

One of those big glass rectangular pans.  I suppose it doesn't need to be glass but mine is.
A pot

A package of flour tortillas.  These come in different sizes.  I use medium.  You will need at least 6-8.
A pound of hamburger
A small onion (size of lemon)
A can of olives (sliced or you can slice them yourself)
A can of tomato past (this is a little red can that comes in 6 oz containers)
A package of Enchilada seasoning (most stores have a section with packets of seasonings)
2 cups of shredded cheese.  Probably one of the orange varieties is best
Sour cream (optional)

Step 1:
Spray some Pam into the glass pan. Every man needs to have Pam in his kitchen.  It's either that or you will have to throw away all of your pots after you use them and then forget to clean them for a week.  Pam is like spray-on oil that makes cleaning a breeze.

Step 2:
Chop up the onion and cook over a medium heat with a bit of butter.  Once the onion turns glassy (about 5 minutes), add the hamburger.  Cook the hamburger until all the pink is gone.

Step 3:
Do this while you do Step 2.  Boil 2 cups of water.  Add the tomato paste and the seasoning.  Once it is all boiling, set to lowest heat for 5 minutes.

Step 4:
Add one cup of shredded cheese to the hamburger.  Add about a third of the water/seasoning mix to the hamburger.  Add the olives to the hamburger.  Stir.

Step 5:
Coat one tortilla with the water/seasoning mix.  Add some of the hamburger mix and roll up. This should be about an inch and a half in diameter.  Place in glass pan.  Repeat this until all of the hamburger is used up.

Step 6:
Pour extra sauce over the tortillas.  Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the tortilla.  Place in oven and cook at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Step 7:
Let cool.  Eat and Enjoy.  You can top with sour cream if you wish.
