• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground elk meat

16 oz refried beans

4 oz. chopped green chiles

1/4 cup chopped white onion

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 - 10 oz. cans of red enchilada sauce

10 large flour tortillas

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups shredded quesadilla cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a skillet, add the ground elk meat, chopped onion, green chiles, salt, and pepper and cook over medium heat until cooked through.

Add the refried beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Pour one can of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the dish and spread to cover the entire bottom.

Start to assemble your enchiladas. Lay a large flour tortilla out flat and add about 1/4 cup of the elk meat and bean filling to the center of the tortilla. Keeping the filling in the center, gently spread it from end to end of the tortilla.

Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling and tuck it under, then continue rolling until it's completely rolled. Place the rolled enchilada into the baking dish. Continue this process until all of the tortillas are filled and in the baking dish.

Drizzle the other can of enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas. Then top with both types of shredded cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Top with your choice of additional toppings - avocado, tomato, sour cream, etc. and serve.
