Check out foodgawker.com. They have a ton of enchilada recipes. But one of my favorites, my Mom, god bless her Irish soul, used to make these and EVERYONE loved them!!

1 lg can red enchilada sauce
corn tortillas
2 lbs velvetta cheese (put in freezer for 30 minutes), grated
1 cup mexican melting cheese, grated
1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
1 can pitted, large ripe olives, chopped
2 Large onions, chopped
Vegetable oil
Cayenne pepper
Ground cumin
Garlic powder

Mix 1/4 cup of oil, grated cheese, cooked ground beef, chopped onions and olives in a large bowl. Add cayenne, cumin and garlic powder to your taste preference.

Heat 1/2 cup oil to hot in a frying pan large enought to hold a torilla. Gently slide a tortilla into hot
oil for several seconds, turn tortilla over for several seconds and remove to a plate to keep warm. Continue until all tortillas have been softened in the oil. Heat enchilada sauce in a frying pan, and slide each softened tortilla through the hot sauce (messy, but worth it). Place tortilla on a plate and place an appropriate amount of the cheese/beef filling. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down in a large baking dish. Continue until all tortillas are filled. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the dish, add 1 cup of shredded Mexican melting cheese on top, and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
