Stir in sour cream, chilies, and vinegar until well mixed. Remove from heat, and mix in the Cheddar cheese.

Melt the margarine in a small skillet over low heat. When melted, dip each tortilla into the margarine for about 30 seconds, or until soft.

Place the softened tortilla onto a baking sheet and fill it with about ⅓ cup of the meat mixture.

Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until the tortilla is crisp.
