When my sisters, brothers and I went away to college in the 80s my mother gave us each a cookbook with all the recipes for the food we ate growing up. She recently asked if I had the recipes electronically, since I didn't I decided to start posting them for family to share. I have posted the recipes as she wrote them. Best thing she ever gave me, I use the cookbook to this day!

Enchiladas Con Carne

2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped (with a pinch of sugar)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 c shortening
1 1/2 t salt
Pepper to taste
1 large onion, minced
1/4 c grated mild cheese
Oregano to taste
Lettuce wedges and tomato slices
12 tortillas

Mix the chopped tomatoes and the garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes on a low flame in half the melted shortening. Add the salt and pepper. In another skillet, or in the oven, saute the tortillas in the remaining shortening. Be sure and brown on both sides. In the center of each tortilla place 1 1/2 t of tomato mixture, some chopped onion, and meat. Roll the tortillas and place on a serving dish. Top with grated cheese and oregano to taste. Serve with lettuce wedges and tomato slices. Makes 12.
