Provided by AZ Food Critic

Categories     Mexican

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.
  • In a small size skillet, add oil to medium-high heat. Gently add one tortilla at a time and fry to a semi soft stage. Dab each tortilla with paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • As each tortilla is fried and dabbed with paper towels, stack them to keep them soft for rolling.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
  • 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.
  • Makes: 6 servings.

Provided by Christy Campbell

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds beef chuck roast
¼ cup water
1 ½ cups beef broth
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chili powder

Place shredded beef back into the saucepan with all the juices, and let cool to room temperature.

Stir in sour cream and 2 cups of Monterey Jack cheese. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring often, until the cheese is all melted and mixed. Set aside and let cool.

BEEF AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS



Beef and Black Bean Enchiladas image

This was "created" on a day with minimal ingredients in the house. I am more of a fan of ground beef rather than shredded beef but either can be used. Also, my preference for this dish is medium ground beef. I know!! More fat, but the flavor is great!! Again - your choice! I guessed on the ounces of the can of black beans - just the normal size is fine. Easy to modify to your personal taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn or flour tortillas can be used for enchiladas, but corn tortillas are the more traditional choice. They have a slightly chewy texture and a slightly sweet flavor that pairs well with the savory fillings of enchiladas.
  • Use a flavorful filling. The filling is the heart of any enchilada, so it's important to choose one that is flavorful and delicious. Some popular fillings include shredded chicken, beef, or vegetables.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and will cause them to fall apart when they are baked.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is another important ingredient in enchiladas, so it's important to choose one that is flavorful and melts well. A good option is a Mexican blend of cheese, which typically includes cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are bubbly and golden brown. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the tortillas are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings and toppings. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make delicious enchiladas at home.
