Authentic Enchiladas

This is a recipe that was given to our family when we were attending BYU in 1976. Jay had a co-worker who was from Mexico, named Nubia, and she made these enchiladas for us and then shared the recipe with us. They are fantastic!

Authentic Enchiladas

1- 12oz. can tomato sauce
1t. chili powder (to taste)
1 dozen flour tortillas
1 1/2lbs. hamburger or shredded beef
1/2 - 1/3c. diced onions
sliced olives
1 1/2c. jack cheese
1 1/2c. mozzerella cheese

Mix tomato sauce and chili powder together in a shallow dish. Dip each tortilla in the sauce to lightly coat. Spread meat in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with onion, olives and cheeses. Roll up, hold with a toothpick and place in a greased 9x13 pan. Repeat with each tortilla. Top with remaining sauce, cheese, onions and olives. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Serves 6-8.

"Saying Grace" by Norman Rockwell

This painting was created for the cover of The Saturday Evening Post’s 1951 Thanksgiving issue. It portrays a woman and a young boy saying grace in a crowded restaurant while the people around them glance in their direction. Rockwell was inspired to create this artwork by a reader of the magazine who saw a Mennonite family praying in a restaurant.

In 1955, the readers of The Saturday Evening Post voted Saying Grace as their favorite ever cover. The painting was sold for $46 million in an auction at Sotheby’s in December 2013. At that time, it set the record for the most expensive American painting ever sold at auction. The $46 million paid for Saying Grace remains the highest known price paid for a Norman Rockwell artwork.
