Assembly
- Pour a thin layer of red enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a plate, spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture down the center, sprinkle with cheeses, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling, arranging them in a single layer in the dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle with remaining cheeses.

Notes
For a healthier version, you can use lean turkey or black beans instead. Ensure tortillas are warmed enough to stay pliable during assembly.
