Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
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)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
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.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.

I love to make this dish with leftover meatloaf from the night before. Using leftover meatloaf cuts some of the cook time, because I just have to reheat the meat. Plus it also helps with not wasting food. I have to make 2 baking dishes when any of my brothers are home.

  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is browned and cooked through.
  • Make your own enchilada sauce: Homemade enchilada sauce is easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought sauce. You can find a recipe for enchilada sauce in the article.
  • Assemble the enchiladas carefully: Roll the enchiladas tightly so that they don't fall apart when you bake them. You can also use toothpicks to secure the enchiladas.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
