3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chili powder, or more to taste
2 cups chicken stock
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
cooking spray
1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 (4 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced green chiles
½ green bell pepper, diced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 low-carb high-fiber tortillas (such as La Tortilla Factory®)
1 (8 ounce) package shredded low-fat Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir using a wooden spoon until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in chicken stock, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer enchilada sauce until thickened and smooth, about 15 minutes.

  • Spoon beef mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla and roll tortilla around filling. Place tortillas, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Cover tortillas with remaining enchilada sauce and Mexican cheese blend.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.

GROUND BEEF ENCHILADAS WITH RED SAUCE



Ground Beef Enchiladas With Red Sauce image

I dont like the store bought red enchilada sauce, so I make my own. You can use any beans you like, black, pinto, chili or kidney. I have also left the beans out, and spread the tortilla with refried beans before adding the beef mixture. Either way is great. I like to make the sauce and beef mixture the night before, then all I have to do is assemble and bake, and its super easy. This recipe freezes well. Sometimes I like to make a double batch of the sauce, and freeze for later use.

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:

  • Use high-quality ground beef for the best flavor. Grass-fed beef is a great option, as it has a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the ground beef. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become tough.
  • Use a variety of spices in the ground beef mixture to create a flavorful filling. Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought sauce.
  • Use fresh tortillas for the best results. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice, but you can also use flour tortillas.
  • Fill the tortillas with the ground beef mixture, cheese, and any other desired toppings.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are heated through and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve the enchiladas immediately, topped with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion. With so many different ways to make them, there is sure to be an enchilada recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give enchiladas a try.
