Steps:

• First you will add all seasonings to ground beef while browning on medium heat.
• After you drain the meat, add it back to the pan.
• Next, toss the meat in about 1/4-1/2 cup of enchilada sauce. Just enough to coat the meat.
• Now you will heat the corn tortillas in the microwave. (About 5-10 seconds per tortilla in the microwave.)
• Coat the bottom of the disposable pans in enchilada sauce.
• Place a spoonful of meat in center of corn tortilla, roll the filled tortilla, and place in the disposable pan.
• Once the pan is full, top all enchiladas with enchilada sauce. Be generous.
• - Stop here. Wrap top of pan in foil, and add top, and place in freezer. When you are ready to bake, allow the enchiladas to thaw. Bake on 350 for 15 minutes, then add the cheese. Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted. If you don't have time to thaw - Remove top from pan, but leave foil on.
