Steps:
- Make sauce: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add flour and cook, whisking occasionally, 1 minute. Add broth, chili powder, chipotle and adobo sauce, and 3/4 cup water; bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat, and simmer until lightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Make filling: In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, and beef; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 8 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If freezing, don't place any sauce in baking dish. See Cook's Notes below.) Spoon 1/4 cup sauce in bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside. Make enchiladas: Stack tortillas; wrap in foil, and warm in oven, 10 minutes. Fill each with a heaping 1/4 cup beef mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese; tightly roll up.
- Raise oven heat to 450 degrees. Arrange enchiladas, seam side down, in baking dish. Top with remaining sauce; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serve garnished with cilantro and, if desired, a green salad.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until no longer pink. Drain off grease and season with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix in the tomato sauce and 2 cups of the water. Simmer over low heat. Mix the remaining water with the flour and sugar until flour is dissolved; stir into the simmering meat sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking, heat oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Warm tortillas in the hot oil until pliable. Fill each tortilla with a little bit of cheese, and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, reserving some of the cheese to sprinkle on top. Pour the meat sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Steps:
- 1. PREPARATION: Cook Red Hot Enchilada sauce (recipe https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/red-hot-enchilada-sauce.html and set aside. **NOTE:: you can use store bought enchilada sauce if you wish. Preheat oven to 350º Peel onion and cut into quarters, place in food processor. Cut peppers in half, remove stems, seeds and veins and add to food processor Cut stems from cilantro, and add leaves only to food processor. Pulse until finely minced; leave in processor for now Toss two cheeses together in bowl and set aside.
- 2. Heat large heavy non-stick skillet (I use my cast iron) to medium high heat, then add cooking oil,ground chuck, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until meat is "grey". Add onions, peppers and cilantro from food processor and cook about two more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside
- 3. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking dish and set aside. Place 4-6 tortillas at a time on paper towel, cover with another paper towel and place in microwave for 20 seconds to soften. (Note: You need to do this in 2 or 3 bunches or the tortillas will get cold while you are working with them) Remove from microwave and place on cutting board or large piece of waxed paper. Take one tortilla and spoon meat mixture down center, sprinkle with a small amount of grated cheese, then roll up and place "seams down" in baking dish. Continue preparing one at a time until all tortillas and meat are used. (It's okay to scrunch the tortillas together, they will still cook)
- 4. Pour the enchilada sauce over the entire dish, sprinkle remainder of cheese over top. You can add more cheese if desired (we like lots of cheese on ours) Place in oven and cook for 25-30 minutes until cheese is crusty and bubbly.
- 5. Serve with salsa, charro or refried beans, and spanish rice for an authentic Tex-Mex platter. ENJOY.
Tips:
- Prep Your Enchiladas in Advance: You can assemble the enchiladas up to 24 hours before baking. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. When you're ready to serve, remove the enchiladas from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your enchiladas will taste. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. If you can, use freshly grated cheese as well.
- Don't Overcook the Beef: Cook the beef until it is just cooked through. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
- Use a Good Quality Enchilada Sauce: The enchilada sauce is one of the most important parts of the dish. Use a good quality sauce that has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't Skimp on the Cheese: Use plenty of cheese in your enchiladas. The cheese is what makes them so gooey and delicious.
