Green Salsa Beef Enchiladas are a classic Mexican dish that combines ground beef, tomatillo salsa, and melted cheese in a soft flour tortilla. This recipe puts a twist on the traditional red sauce by using tangy tomatillo salsa instead, which adds a unique flavor and a bright pop of color to the dish. This crowd-pleasing recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special weekend feast, and pairs well with a cold beer or a crisp white wine.

5.	Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto each flour tortilla.
6.	Spoon the meat and salsa mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up tightly.
7.	Place the enchiladas seam side down in a baking dish.
