2 cups frozen corn
9 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided (can use more or less)
2 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
sour cream
green onion
coarsley crushed tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease an 11 x 7-inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet brown the ground beef with onion, garlic, green bell pepper and jalapeno (if using) until the beef is no longer pink; drain any fat then return to skillet and add in one can of enchilada sauce, black beans, corn and cumin.
  • Bring the ground beef mixture to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally, then season with salt and lots of black pepper.
  • Arrange 3 corn tortillas in the bottom of the baking dish, cutting as needed to cover bottom of the dish.
  • Spread 1/4 cup canned enchilada sauce over the tortillas in the baking dish.
  • Cover the sauce with 1/3 of the cooked ground beef mixture, then about 1/3 of the shredded cheese.
  • Repeat the layers twice but omitting the final cheese layer on top.
  • Drizzle any remaining canned enchilada sauce (from the second can) on top.
  • Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 25 minutes.
  • Remove foil and sprinkle with more cheese (any amount desired) then return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • Let stand 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  • Top with sour cream and/or tomatoes, green onions and crushed tortilla chips if desired.
  • Delicious!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the enchiladas will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful ingredients like ripe tomatoes, tender beef, and flavorful spices.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is browned and no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the enchiladas a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco.
  • Don't skip the sauce: The sauce is what really brings the enchiladas together. Make sure to use a flavorful sauce that complements the other ingredients.
  • Assemble the enchiladas carefully: Be careful not to overfill the tortillas, or they will break. And make sure to roll them up tightly so that they don't fall apart when you bake them.

Conclusion:

Mexican Layered Ground Beef Enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your enchiladas are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
