- Pour in the enchilada sauce, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir in the cilantro.1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce, 1/2 cup cilantro
- Turn the oven on to broil. Place the bun bottoms on a baking sheet and lightly toast. Top the buns with the meat mixture, then the cheese. Place the bun tops on the baking sheet, cut side up (to toast) and place the baking sheet in the oven. Broil just until the cheese is melted and the top of the buns are toasted.4 hamburger buns, 1 cup shredded pepperjack cheese

Notes
I used the mild enchilada sauce, but feel free to do medium or hot for more flavor and heat!
