Basic Enchiladas

This is probably not very low sodium at all because of all the cheese, but this is by far the best enchilada recipe. My mom got it from her friend's mom who is mexican.

2 packages of tortillas

1 lb of colby cheese (or jalapeño cheese for more spiciness)

1 medium onion, chopped

1 large can of tomato sauce (no salt-added)

1 lb cooked beef or chicken, and other fillings if you desire (see my Chicken Enchilada recipe for a good chicken based filling)

water

chili powder

1T flour

Heat oven to 350 degrees

1. Mix together:

3/4 cup of tomato sauce

1/4 cup water
