SIMPLE PERFECT ENCHILADAS

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
One 28-ounce can enchilada or Mexican red sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Canola oil, for frying
10 to 14 corn tortillas
Two 4-ounce cans diced green chilies
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chopped black olives
3 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
  • Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
  • Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Provided by Annalise

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast ((455 grams), sliced thin)
1 red onion (sliced)
1 red pepper (sliced)
1 green pepper (sliced)
12 soft taco-sized flour tortillas
10 oz can green or red enchilada sauce ((280 grams))
1 cup sour cream ((227 grams))
1 cup milk ((250 ml))
8 ounces mozzarella cheese ((226 grams), shredded)
Avocado (, optional)
Cilantro (, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch or similar casserole dish.
  • In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients to make the fajita seasoning.
  • Heat a skillet (I like to use cast iron) over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with half of the fajita seasoning and add to the skillet. Cook until browned an completely cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Add remaining tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet. Add onion and peppers and sprinkle with remaining fajita seasoning. Cook until vegetables are softened and start to caramelize, about 5-6 minutes. Combine with the chicken.
  • Whisk together the enchilada sauce, sour cream, and milk. Pour enough mixture into the prepared baking dish to cover the bottom generously.
  • Spoon chicken fajita mixture into the flour tortillas, roll up, and place seam side-down in the dish.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce mixture over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese just begins to turn brown, about 10 minutes more.
  • Serve enchiladas with chopped avocados and cilantro, or as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn or flour tortillas can be used for fajita enchiladas, but corn tortillas are the more traditional choice. Make sure the tortillas are fresh and pliable so they don't crack when you roll them up.
  • Cook the fajita filling thoroughly: The chicken or beef filling for fajita enchiladas should be cooked until it is tender and flavorful. This will ensure that the enchiladas are juicy and delicious.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is a key component of fajita enchiladas. Use a sauce that is flavorful and has a bit of a kick. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Layer the enchiladas properly: When assembling the enchiladas, start by spreading a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Then, add a layer of tortillas, followed by a layer of filling, and another layer of sauce. Repeat this process until all of the ingredients have been used up.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are hot and bubbly: Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven until they are hot and bubbly. This will take about 20-30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Fajita enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party. With a few simple steps, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give fajita enchiladas a try.
