Enchiladas are a Mexican staple that can be made with chicken, beef, or cheese. This easy recipe makes a tasty and satisfying meal.

Step 1: Brown the meat
Brown ground beef in a nonstick skillet, or cube the chicken and brown it in vegetable oil.

Top with sour cream to taste, if desired, and serve the enchiladas while they're hot.
