Ingredients
2lbs.ground beef, cooked and crumbled, fats drained well
3Tbs.tomato paste
10oz.can red enchilada sauce, we prefer mild
6large flour tortillas, 12-inch, warm slightly
8oz.cream cheese, softened (may use low fat cream cheese, if desired)
1/2cupsour cream
2-3Tbs. taco seasoning, packaged or homemade, divided use
1cupshredded cheddar cheese or Colby Jack cheese, as desired
salsa, for serving, as desired
Instructions
In a large skillet, add the tomato paste and 1 1/2 Tbs. of the taco seasoning to the cooked ground beef, stirring for 1-2 minutes, letting the tomato paste brown a bit as it cooks. Stir in the enchilada sauce, a little at a time, as needed to make a nice thick meat mixture; remove from the heat to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese with the sour cream and the remaining 1 1/2 Tbs. of the taco seasoning.
Spread the prepared cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, working one at a time. Next, top each tortilla with the prepared beef mixture, spreading it out evenly over the cream cheese layer; sprinkle with cheese, as desired.
Tightly roll up each tortilla. Using a sharp knife, trim off each end of the prepared tortilla roll, then slice each tortilla roll into pinwheels, placing them onto a serving platter. Serve at once, or cover the pinwheels with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve at a later time.
