1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup finely diced fresh poblano peppers or 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1/2 cup finely diced white onions or 1/2 cup yellow onion
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese or 1 cup monterey jack cheese

2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
5 teaspoons red chili powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine in large skillet ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Cook until beef is browned.
  • Drain grease.
  • Return to skillet and add tomatoes, peppers or canned chilies, and beans (I prefer the Texas beans and fresh pablano pepper here because of the added flavor).
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer while preparing the sauce, stirring frequently.
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients in medium bowl with a wire whisk until butter has melted.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add about 1/2 cup sauce to meat mixture.

  • Dip each tortilla (the whole wheat are absolutely delicious in this recipe) into the enchilada sauce coating thoroughly.
  • Lay the soaked tortilla in your baking pan and add one serving spoon of the meat mixture lengthwise along one end of tortilla then roll it up from there (Note that there should be about 2 serving spoons of meat left when you are done with filling all tortillas).
  • When done rolling each one make sure to place it so that open end of tortilla is on the bottom to avoid spillage.
  • Repeat with all tortillas.
  • Add remaining meat mixture and remaining sauce evenly on top of enchiladas.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, remove foil, cover with grated cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes uncovered, or until all cheese has melted.
  • For easiest serving, slice enchiladas in half lengthwise down the pan.
  • Serve with rice, sour cream, guacamole, and your favorite corn chips.

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.

1/2 * 1/2 cups Canola Oil

* TO ASSEMBLE:
3 * 3 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1/2 * 1/2 cups Chopped Black Olives
1 * 1 cup Chopped Green Onions
1/2 * 1/2 cups Chopped Cilantro

Steps:

  • Prep Time: 1 Hour30 Minutes Cook Time: 20 Minutes Difficulty: Easy Step #1 - The Sauce In a large saucepan over medium heat, add oil and flour and whisk together to make a paste, cooking for one minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, cilantro, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30-45 minutes. Step #2 - The Meat Brown the meat with onions in a skillet. Drain off fat. Stir in 2 cans diced green chilies and seasoned salt. Set aside. Step #3 - Tortillas Heat canola oil in a small skillet over medium heat. One by one, using tongs, fry tortillas in oil until soft, not crisp - about 30 seconds per side. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat until all tortillas have been fried. Step #4 - Assembly Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour ½ cup red sauce in bottom of baking pan. Spread to even out. Dip each tortilla into red sauce, then remove to work surface. Spoon meat, a little grated cheese, a little black olives, and green onions in the center of tortilla. Roll up and place, seam down, in baking pan. Repeat until pan is filled. Pour extra red sauce over enchiladas. Top with remaining cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle cilantro over enchiladas before serving.

Tips:

  • Prep the Enchiladas in Advance: Save time by assembling the enchiladas up to 24 hours before baking. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
  • Choose the Right Cheese: Use a blend of shredded cheeses for the best flavor. A combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella works well.
  • Don't Overcook the Enchiladas: Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes. Overcooking can dry out the enchiladas.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
