Indulge in a culinary journey with our delectable beef enchiladas, a harmonious blend of Mexican flavors and culinary expertise. These enchiladas are not just any ordinary dish; they are a symphony of textures and tastes, a delightful dance of spices on your palate. Each bite is an explosion of flavors, from the tender and juicy beef filling to the rich and flavorful enchilada sauce, all wrapped in a soft and pillowy tortilla.
The journey begins with the preparation of the beef filling. We carefully select high-quality ground beef and sauté it to perfection, infusing it with an aromatic blend of spices that awakens your senses. The result is a flavorful and succulent filling that forms the heart of these enchiladas.
Next, we craft the enchilada sauce from scratch, using a combination of tomatoes, peppers, and a touch of chili powder. This homemade sauce is the magic that brings the dish together, adding a rich and tangy flavor that complements the beef filling beautifully.
The tortillas, the foundation of our enchiladas, are essential in delivering the perfect bite. We use soft and pliable tortillas that effortlessly envelop the filling and sauce, creating a harmonious union of flavors.
With the filling, sauce, and tortillas prepared, we assemble the enchiladas, layering them with care to ensure every bite is a delightful experience. Each enchilada is then topped with a generous amount of melted cheese, creating a golden-brown crust that adds an extra layer of flavor and texture.
These beef enchiladas are not just a meal; they are a culinary masterpiece, a testament to the art of cooking. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you create a dish that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

Steps:
- Add the enchilada sauce to a small saucepan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture to the enchilada sauce (reserve the remaining spice mix for the beef). Bring the sauce a simmer over medium heat; Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and the remaining spice blend. Cook, stirring often, until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 8 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce; cook 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and let cool slightly.
- Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds on high to soften. Leave the paper towel over top of them to keep them moist and pliable.
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Spoon 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon 1/2 cup of the beef mixture down the center of a tortilla; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling, and place in the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
- Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the tortillas are toasted, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; top with red onion and cilantro just before serving with sour cream, if you like.

ANGELA'S AWESOME ENCHILADAS
The secret is in the seasonings! I whipped these up on my own using stuff I had on hand. Shredding the chicken is the most time-consuming step, but it's worth it in the end. Give these babies a try! Serve with sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.

Steps:
- Place the chicken in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken by placing two forks back to back and pulling meat apart. Set the shredded chicken aside. Meanwhile, combine the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and chili powder in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, taco seasoning, half of the bunch of chopped green onion, and water. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the lime juice, onion powder, and garlic powder; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir 1 cup of the soup mixture into the skillet with the chicken mixture. Spread the remaining soup mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Fill each tortilla with chicken mixture. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the chicken filling before folding the tortillas, reserving half of the shredded cheese for topping the enchiladas. Fold tortillas over the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared pan.
- Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas. Cover with the remaining 1 1/2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the reserved chopped green onions and the sliced olives on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before filling them.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make it less melty. Shredding your own cheese will give you a smoother, more flavorful filling.
- Don't overfill the tortillas. Overfilled tortillas are more likely to break when you roll them up. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
- Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.
