Spicy Meat and Bean Enchiladas

Instructions

1. 1

   **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

   **Cook the Meat**: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened. Add the ground meat, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through.

   **Prepare the Filling**: Stir in the refried beans and tomato paste into the meat mixture until well combined and heated through. If you want more spice, mix in sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
