Way Too Easy Enchiladas

 

Quite easily one of Vince's favorites.  Disgustingly easy to make.  Even easier to stretch for unexpected company.
  •  1 lb ground meat or 2 cups Chicken in Advance™
  •  1 package taco seasoning (or be smart and buy it in bulk from Costco!)
  •  2 cups water
  •  2 cups instant rice
  •  1 cup shredded cheese
  •  Optional toppings - sour cream, guacamole, crushed tortilla chips

  1. Brown meat...if using Chicken in Advance™, defrost.
  2. Add taco seasoning, water, rice and cheese.
  3. Mix well and cover.
  4. Simmer over medium low heat 5 minutes.
  5. Serve with desired toppings.

You might want to adjust the amount of cheese and/or taco seasoning used depending on your preferences.

Need to make this stretch for unexpected company?  Simply increase the rice and water by 1 cup increments.  I've used 1 lb of meat with as much as 4 cups of rice with no complaints.  You should increase the amount of cheese accordingly.
