Dutch Oven Enchiladas

1 lb. hamburger
1 pkg. dry taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1/2 chopped onion
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
6-8 tortillas (9-inch size)

 

Heat Dutch Oven over coals.  Brown hamburger.  Add onion, taco seasoning, and water.  Simmer five minutes, or until water is absorbed.  Pour hamburger into separate container.

Spread 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce on tortilla.  Spoon 1/6 of hamburger onto tortilla.  Sprinkle cheese on hamburger.  Roll up tortilla and place in D.O.  Repeat for all tortillas.  Pour remaining sauce over tortillas in D.O.  Sprinkle remaining cheese over tortillas.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 10 coals under and 16 on top.Try to pack the enchiladas close together. Cut one or two in half to fill in the edges. This helps keep the sauce spread over all the enchiladas.  It's very easy to double the recipe and make a second layer of enchiladas in the D.O. - lay them crossways to the first layer.
