Mom's Beef Enchiladas

This is a recipe my mom used to make. I have made some adjustments to it and usually do something a bit different each time. Here is what I took to the Missions Conference Fellowship tonight.

16 small flour tortillas
1.5 pounds of cooked ground beef (seasoned with taco seasoning)
Chopped onions
1 large can of Enchilada sauce (red)
1/2 pound of Velveeta cheese
1 cup of milk
Sliced jalapenos
Shredded Cheddar/Jack cheese

Roll beef in tortillas and put into 9x13 pan. Sprinkle any extra meat and chopped onions over the rolled tortillas. In a saucepan, mix the Enchilada sauce, velveeta cheese and milk together until cheese is melted. Pour over the tortillas. Bake in a 350 oven for approx. 30 min. Sprinkle desired amount of cheddar/jack cheese over tortillas and then place sliced jalapenos on that. Bake for about 30 more minutes. Serve with refried beans and chips and salsa.
