SIMPLE PERFECT ENCHILADAS

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.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds ground beef
¼ onion, finely chopped

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

¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

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.

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.
