Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced jalapenos
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Tips:

- To make the tortillas more pliable, heat them up in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side before filling them.
- If you want to make this dish even spicier, add more jalapenos or chipotle peppers.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
3. Add the diced jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
4. In a separate saucepan, combine the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and tomato sauce. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
5. To assemble the enchiladas, spoon some of the beef mixture onto each tortilla and roll it up tightly. Place the enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish.
6. Pour the chipotle tomato sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
