8 Flour; (8-inch) tortillas

Brown ground beef in a large skillet, stirring until it crumbles; drain. Stir in ½ cup tomato mixture and beans. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Place about ¼ cup meat mixture and 2½ tablespoons cheese down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, and place, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-in baking dish. Pour remaining tomato juice mixture over casserole. Cover and bake at 350F for 35 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 5 additional minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle lettuce, tomato, and avocado over enchiladas; serve with sour cream.

I have 3 at 7 years and under and they all had seconds! I would like to taste this a little bit spicier and will probably try adding hotter spices or chopped chiles to the meat mixture.
