3/4 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup oil or butter (canola, vegetable, or avocado oil)

1 tablespoon chili powder
2 cups beef broth (LOW or NO SODIUM)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup canola oil
12-15 white corn tortillas
1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • Ground Beef
  • Cook the ground beef over medium heat. Break the beef up while it cooks, cook until browned and no longer pink.
  • Turn the heat off. Drain the grease. Add the seasonings to the meat, stir to combine. Then stir in the tomato sauce. Set aside.
  • Homemade Enchilada Sauce:
  • Heat the oil or butter in a medium size skillet over medium heat.
  • Add in the flour and stir to mix. Will be a thick mixture. Allow this to cook for just 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the spices. Stir to form a thick paste.
  • Stir in the broth and tomato paste. Stir until smooth. Continue to heat to just below a simmer, sauce will thicken slightly.
  • Enchiladas:
  • Preheat oven to 350℉ degrees.
  • Spread enchilada sauce into the bottom of a glass 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
  • Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium heat in a medium size skillet.
  • Once the oil is hot enough to bubble up when a tortilla is dipped in, gently lay the tortilla into the oil using tongs. Allow the tortilla to cook in the oil for about 10-15 seconds, then flip and cook the other side. (Tortillas will not be browned and crisp, we still want them flexible)
  • Once all tortillas have been fried, dip into the enchilada sauce. Or brush the sauce on.
  • Lay the tortilla down and add a spoonful of ground beef and a small sprinkle of cheese.
  • Roll the tortillas and lay into a baking dish, seam side down. Continue until the dish is filled.
  • Spread leftover sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with leftover shredded cheese.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
One 28-ounce can enchilada or Mexican red sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Canola oil, for frying
10 to 14 corn tortillas
Two 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped black olives
3 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
  • Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
  • Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Categories     Cinco de Mayo     winter     comfort food     main dish     meat

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 10-oz. cans enchilada sauce (about 2 cups)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 small white onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 4-oz. can diced green chiles, drained
8 8-inch flour tortillas
2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Thinly sliced red onion, for garnish
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Sour cream, for serving

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: This French term means "put in place" and refers to the practice of preparing all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need before you start cooking.
  • Choose the Right Beef: For enchiladas, you want to use a beef that is flavorful and tender. Some good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast.
  • Season the Beef Well: Be generous with the seasonings when you are cooking the beef. This will help to develop flavor and make your enchiladas more delicious.
  • Shred the Beef Properly: Once the beef is cooked, shred it against the grain. This will help to make the beef tender and easy to eat.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for your enchiladas. This will help to ensure that your dish is flavorful and delicious.
  • Don't Overfill the Enchiladas: When you are assembling the enchiladas, don't overfill them. This will make them difficult to roll and they may fall apart when you bake them.
  • Use a Good Cheese: The type of cheese you use for your enchiladas will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Some good options include cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Bake the Enchiladas Until They Are Golden Brown: When you are baking the enchiladas, bake them until they are golden brown. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Beef enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious beef enchiladas at home. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
