Remove from heat.

Roll tortilla up tightly and place, seam-side down, in the large baking dish. • Repeat with remaining tortillas and beef mixture, ensuring they fit together snugly in the baking dish. • Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Grill enchiladas until cheese is melted and golden and tortillas are warmed through, 8-10 minutes.
