STACKED BEEF ENCHILADAS (AKA MEXICAN LASAGNA)



Stacked Beef Enchiladas (AKA Mexican Lasagna) image

With layers of corn tortillas, spicy ground beef, salsa and cheese, this stacked beef enchilada casserole is a family-pleaser.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1½ pounds 90% lean ground beef
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1½ teaspoons chipotle chili powder (see note)
2½ teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon salt
4 large vine-ripened tomatoes (about 1.3 lb), quartered
2 medium yellow onions, cut into ½-inch wedges
¼ cup vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup cilantro leaves
10 (8-in) yellow corn tortillas, cut into quarters (I use Mission brand)
4 cups (12 oz) shredded Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and the baking soda. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Let sit on the counter for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While the beef sits, prepare the sauce. Set an oven rack about 5 inches beneath the heating element and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss the tomatoes, onions, and garlic with the vegetable oil directly on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until softened and charred, 12 to15 minutes (if the vegetables are browning too quickly, give them a quick stir with a rubber spatula). Transfer the vegetables and juices to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper and pulse until just slightly chunky. Add the cilantro and pulse until the cilantro is chopped. Set the sauce aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring frequently and breaking into pieces, until just slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes more, or until cooked through.
  • To assemble: Preheat oven to 350°F and move the oven rack to the center position. Lightly oil a 9x13-in glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Set aside 1 cup of the sauce for the top of the casserole. (You want to ensure that you have enough to cover the top layer of tortillas, otherwise they won't cook through.)
  • Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with a layer of tortillas, overlapping them slightly. Spoon half of the beef (and any juices) over the tortillas. Top with half of the sauce and ⅓ of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, the remaining beef, remaining sauce, and ⅓ of the cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas. Spread the reserved sauce over the tortillas and cover completely. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over top. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is completely melted.
  • Note: Chipotle chili powder is smoky and hot and makes this dish a little spicy. For a milder dish, replace the chipotle chili powder with ancho chili powder, which isn't as hot.
  • MAKE-AHEAD/FREEZER-FRIENDLY INSTRUCTIONS: The casserole can be prepared ahead of time, tightly covered with foil, and refrigerated for up to two days or frozen for up to 3 months before baking (if frozen, defrost in the refrigerator before cooking). It can also be fully baked, tightly covered with foil, and refrigerated for up to two days or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat: defrost if necessary and heat the covered casserole in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until hot. If you'd rather reheat individual servings, small portions can be zapped in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.

BEEF TORTILLA STACK



Beef Tortilla Stack image

Tried and true. I used to make this all the time and recently I realized I hadn't made it in a while, so I decided to make it. My daughter ooo'd and aww'd and asked what was wrong with me because I hadn't made it in so long. She claimed it was her favorite dish I've made. It is essential to shred the meat as the liquid will absorb into the crevices of the shreds, otherwise leaving it in chunks will be more runny. To save time, I've normally completed the cooking of the meat the day before and I finish it off the next day. Voila, it's done. I think I found this recipe in Good Housekeeping magazine, but I can't quite recall. I have changed it through the years, adding my own tweaks.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless beef chuck shoulder steak
1 large onion, diced
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups water
4 flour tortillas, 8 inch
1 ripe medium avocado, chopped into 1/2 inch chunks
1 -2 ripe medium tomatoes, chopped into 1/2 inch chunks
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) jar salsa or 1 (8 ounce) jar picante sauce

Steps:

  • In 5 quart Dutch oven over medium high heat, add 1 T salad oil. Once oil is hot, add onions and sauté until golden brown. Remove onion and set aside. Add 1 T more of oil to hot pan to heat. Add steak and sear until well browned on both sides.
  • Add onion back to Dutch oven, taco seasoning mix, salt, pepper, and water over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 1 ½ to 2 hours until meat is very tender and falls apart when tested with a fork.
  • When meat is done, remove steak from pan and transfer to a plate. Shred meat with a couple of forks. Return meat back to pan and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon, until liquid has absorbed; keep warm if using that same day or you can cook up to this point the day before and refrigerate. If making the beef a day ahead keep in mind to reheat before proceeding.
  • In a 10" skillet over medium high heat, add 1 T vegetable oil, cook one tortilla until lightly browned and puffy. Turn tortilla over and repeat, so that both sides are golden brown.
  • Remove tortilla to cookie sheet; keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas, using 1 T oil for each.
  • On serving plate, place one tortilla. Spread one-fourth of sour cream evenly on tortilla. Top with one-third of meat mixture, then spoon 1/3 of salsa over top, then one-fourth of chopped avocado. Repeat layering two more times.
  • Place the fourth tortilla over the top. Dot with sour-cream and spread evenly, sprinkle with chopped tomato and remaining avocado.
  • To serve, slice as you would a cake. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • To make the tortillas, use a hot skillet or griddle and cook them for about 30 seconds per side, or until they are slightly browned and pliable.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the onion and bell pepper by hand.
  • You can use any type of ground beef for this recipe, but I recommend using a leaner ground beef (80/20) so that the tortillas don't get too greasy.
  • To make the cheese sauce, use a good quality cheddar cheese. You can also add other cheeses to the sauce, such as Monterey Jack or pepper Jack.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can use a large skillet or even a pie plate.
  • Serve the beef stacks with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Baked tortilla beef stacks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover tortillas and ground beef. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
