Time 1h

Yield 12 enchiladas, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground beef
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 serrano peppers
1 1/2 cups water
1 small yellow onion
1 green bell pepper
3 tablespoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper (regular black pepper)
1 teaspoon salt
2 (15 ounce) cans Wolf brand chili
Mexican blend cheese
corn tortilla
vegetable oil (eye it) or olive oil (eye it)

Steps:

  • Preparing the Meat.
  • Place ground beef in skillet and brown all the way.
  • Add the water and fill just until the meat is covered by the water, add in cumin, four slices of the bell pepper, cut about four rings from the onion and add in, garlic salt, salt, pepper, 1/2 can of tomato sauce only, and serrano peppers.
  • Cover the pan and let cook for 20-30 minutes until most of the water has evaporated and the onion and bell peppers are cooked and soft. The longer it cooks the better the meat will taste.
  • Preparing the tortillas.
  • While the meat is cooking you can begin preparing the tortillas for the enchiladas.
  • In a small skillet pour about 2 tablespoons oil and heat on medium, place in 1 corn tortilla at a time for about 5 seconds on each side, the idea is just to get them wet and soft.
  • Make sure to have a plate covered with a napkin on the bottom close to the stove, upon removing the tortilla place on top of the plate, the napkin on the bottom will absorb the extra oil. Keep repeating this until you are done with the tortillas and stack them on top of each other.
  • Let cool until the meat is done.
  • Preparing the Enchilada.
  • Heat up the chili until it is hot.
  • In a deep baking pan (13") place tortilla, fill with about 1 tablespoon of meat and roll the tortilla into a little taco, repeat process until you are done with all the meat and tortillas. Fill to your desire and for those of you who don't like meat just replace meat with grated cheese. Make sure to fill the entire bottom of the pan.
  • Once the bottom is filled with the rolled tacos pour chili on top of them until every single one is covered and soaking with chili.
  • Next add grated cheese on top of the chili enchilada and again make sure to cover entire bottom layer . Begin stacking the rest of the tacos on top of the first layer and repeat process until you are done.
  • Next place the baking pan/tray in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted on top.
  • Let cool and begin serving enjoy!

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.

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 (1 lb) can kidney bean, undrained
3 tablespoons salad oil
1 clove garlic, very finely chopped

2 tablespoons finely chopped canned green chilies
1 dash ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
10 corn tortillas
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese or 1 cup cubed monterey jack cheese

Steps:

  • PREPARE MEAT FILLING:.
  • Saute ground chuck in a medium skillet with next five ingredients over medium heat until no pink remains and meat is broken up into crumbles.
  • Stir in undrained kidney beans.
  • MAKE TOMATO SAUCE:.
  • Saute garlic and onion in oil over low/medium heat until golden; remove from heat.
  • Stir flour into garlic/onion/oil until smooth.
  • Stir in tomato puree, vinegar and dissolved bouillon cube broth.
  • Bring mixture to boiling point, stirring frequently, over medium heat until thickened.
  • Add chiles, cumin, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  • TO ASSEMBLE ENCHILADAS:.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your enchiladas.
  • Don't overcook the beef. It should be cooked through, but still tender and juicy.
  • Shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the flavor and texture of your enchiladas.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce. You can make your own or use a store-bought brand that you like.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the enchiladas. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the enchiladas immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
