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.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds ground beef
¼ onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups enchilada sauce
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
8 flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook and stir ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted.

Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and enchiladas and sauce are bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
