Notes
I really wanted an incredible presentation for this dish. I knew a heaping skillet would give me just that, so I transferred my enchilada beef mixture to a smaller (6.25") cast iron skillet before I added the cheese. Then topped with cheese and placed on a baking sheet and broiled.
Quick fresh pico de gallo: 2 chopped Roma tomatoes, 1/2 small white onion (diced), 1/2 seeded and deveined jalapeno (minced), chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper (to taste). Toss, drain and serve.
