CHEESY BEEF ENCHILADAS MY WAY



Cheesy Beef Enchiladas My Way image

I love these Enchilads! Made with ground beef and the tortilla shells are fried and then dipped in the sauce, it just gives them that extra Yum! This is very similar to how I make my Chicken Enchiladas that I also posted when I first started JAP. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 flour tortillas, soft taco size
1 (28 oz) can red enchilada sauce
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
salt & black pepper, to taste
1 small can black olives, sliced
vegetable oil , for frying tortillas
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1 c monterey jack cheese, shredded
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom & sides of a 9"x13" baking dishes with non-stick cooking spray; coat bottom of dish with 1 cup enchilada sauce; set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef; add salt & pepper, drain and set aside. Place cheeses in medium bowl and mix together. Chop onion and set aside.
  • 3. Place browned meat in a bowl; rinse and wipe the skillet for re-use. Place the skillet back on the burner on a very low setting. Fill with 1 cup of the enchilada sauce.
  • 4. In a different skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Use enough to be about 1" deep. The oil is ready for frying the tortillas when the edge of a tortilla dipped in the oil sizzles on contact. Using tongs, place a tortilla in the hot oil, turning it quickly so it doesn't burn (don't worry if it starts to bubble). Remove the fried tortilla to the skillet containing the sauce and lay it flat. Using tongs, flip it to coat both sides with sauce. The tortilla will become very limp. Place the fried saucy tortilla into the baking dishe. Prop it open to receive fillings.
  • 5. Fill each tortilla with the meat, chopped onions and some of the cheese. (Save about a cup of cheese to top enchiladas with.) Using your hands (be careful, it will be hot), fold the tortilla around the fillings and place it seam-side down into the dish to form an enchilada. Repeat until all tortillas have been fried, sauced and filled.
  • 6. Once the dish has all enchiladas added to it, pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas to barely cover them. Spread the remaining cheese down the center of the enchiladas. (Use as much or as little of the cheese as you wish.) Sprinkle the black olives over the cheese.
  • 7. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until bubbly. (Watch that the cheese doesn't burn. If it starts to brown too much, cover loosely with non-stick aluminum foil.) Let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Sometimes I like to add sour cream for topping.

CHEESY BEEF ENCHILADAS



Cheesy Beef Enchiladas image

We love spicy food especially mexican, tex mex, and cajun with all those great seasonings in them. My husband and I both love to cook and try different things so I just added a few more seasonings to my recipe for beef enchiladas which may have been a little too spicy this time. All in all it was good with just a little kick to...

Tips:

  • To make the enchiladas ahead of time, assemble the casserole and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and bake as directed.
  • If you don't have a large skillet, you can cook the beef in batches. Just be sure to drain the grease from the skillet before cooking the next batch.
  • To make the enchiladas more cheesy, add an extra cup of shredded cheese to the filling.
  • If you like spicy food, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder to the enchilada sauce.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
