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.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 c green peppers, chopped
1/2 c red peppers, chopped
1-1/2 c thick 'n chunky salsa, divided
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 Tbsp zesty italian dressing
8 corn tortillas
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh & chopped

Steps:

  • 1. first preheat the oven to 400F. In a large nonstick frying pan brown the meat. Then stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa & simmer about 5 mins. but stir occasionally. Then remove from the heat & stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  • 2. Next spread 1/4 cup o the remaining salsa into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish. Then brush light both sides of the tortillas. Then stack 4 tortillas wraped in waxed paper. Microwave on high for about 20 sec or until warmed. Then spoon 1/3 cup of the meat mixture down the center of each tortilla & then roll up. Place then seam side down over the salsa in the dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef. For the best flavor, use a chuck roast or flank steak. These cuts are well-marbled and will become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender. This will ensure that the enchiladas are moist and flavorful.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce. There are many different recipes for enchilada sauce, so find one that you like and that complements the flavor of the beef.
  • Don't overstuff the enchiladas. Otherwise, they will be difficult to roll and will fall apart when you bake them.
  • Top the enchiladas with plenty of cheese. This will help to hold them together and will also add a delicious cheesy flavor.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
