Time 1h15m

Yield 12 Enchiladas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups beef, shredded
1 small onion, diced
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 cups water
4 ounces tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 dozen corn tortilla
1 cup oil, for frying tortillas
4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (4 ounce) can black olives, sliced, drained
1 cup sour cream, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, add shredded beef and diced onions, mix well and set aside.
  • In a medium size sauce pan, add the oil, flour, and chili powder. Turn to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.
  • Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to boil for one minute, then whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmering boil it will begin to thicken slightly after about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Add salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, mix to combine and then add about 1/4 cup of sauce to the shredded beef mixture and stir to combine. Set aside remaining sauce for enchiladas.

  • Lay (one at a time) fried tortilla on a flat surface, add about 2 tablespoons shredded beef mixture to the middle of the fried tortilla and top with about 1 teaspoon shredded cheese.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking dish (seam side down). Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. (For best results, line the enchiladas into two rows of 6).
  • Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas, and then add remaining shredded cheese evenly to the top of the sauce and top with the sliced olives.
  • Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. Serve with sour cream, optional.
