In a skillet, cook beef with taco seasoning according to package instructions. When browned, add onion and diced green chiles — mix well. 

In separate skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Using tongs, dip each tortilla in oil until soft and pliable, then place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

In a pot, warm enchilada sauce. Dip tortillas into sauce and coat both sides. Fill with beef mixture and roll. Place in a baking dish seam side down — repeat with remaining tortillas. When baking dish is filled, top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

While enchiladas bake, prepare Jicama Slaw…

In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper — mix well. Add cabbage, cilantro, jicama and pepitas to coat evenly. Season to taste.
