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. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. 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.

BEEF ENCHILADA CRESCENT ROLL-UPS

Provided by Stacey Little | Southern Bite

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound lean ground beef (I use ground sirloin)
1/2 cup salsa
salt
pepper
1 (12-ounce) can refrigerated Pillsbury Grands! crescent rolls (8 count)
1 (8-ounce) package Mexican blend shredded cheese (2 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can red enchilada sauce (I use Hatch)
toppings: sour cream, diced tomato, diced avocado, salsa, etc.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain away excess grease. Add the salsa to the meat in the skillet and cook on low for about 5 minutes or until heated through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Unroll the crescent rolls and place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture on the wide ends of each crescent. Add a generous pinch of cheese. Roll up each crescent and place it into the baking dish. It's a messy, imperfect process, so don't worry if some of the filling falls out.
  • Pour the enchilada sauce over the crescents and top with the remaining cheese. Leftover meat mixture or filling that fell out when rolling can be sprinkled over the crescents as well.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown. Allow to cool slightly then serve with toppings of your choice.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 lb ground beef
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups enchilada sauce, divided
8 medium flour tortillas
2 cups shredded mexican cheese blend
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
cotija cheese, for garnish - optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili powder and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

  • Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread evenly.
  • Scoop ½ cup of the beef mixture onto the lower half of a tortilla, then roll up. Place the rolled tortilla seam side-down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining beef and tortillas, arranging in a row.
  • Top with the remaining cup of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese on top.
  • Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
  • Top the enchiladas with the cilantro and Cotija cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
