CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Cheese Enchiladas image

Enchiladas are an essential component of Houston's ebullient, dynamic foodways. Mexican in origin, while distinctly Tex-Mex at the same time, the dish adapts to its surroundings. Each version of enchiladas is deeply local: The style ubiquitous in Monterrey, Mexico, will be different from those found in San Antonio or El Paso or Mexico City. But from enchilada to enchilada, the common denominator is deliciousness. In "The Enchilada Queen Cookbook," Sylvia Casares notes, "for Tex-Mex-style cheese enchiladas, yellow cheese, such as Cheddar, is the traditional choice" yielding "the quintessential Tex-Mex enchilada."

Provided by Bryan Washington

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola, plus more for greasing
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ground red chile powder (see Tip)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for sprinkling
2 cups beef broth
Salt
10 corn tortillas
1 pound shredded Cheddar (5 cups)
½ cup finely diced white onion
Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch shallow baking dish or pan or a very large cast-iron skillet.
  • Add the oil and flour to a medium skillet. Set over medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture (known as roux) turns a golden color, smells nutty and thickens, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add garlic, chile powder, cumin, oregano and black pepper to the roux. Whisk until smooth (some clumping from the garlic is fine), being careful to not let the spices burn, about 30 seconds.
  • While whisking constantly, add beef broth 1/4 cup at a time, whisking after each addition, until smooth. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes. Then remove from heat, and allow the gravy to rest for another 10 minutes. Taste the gravy and season with salt as needed for a savory sauce.
  • Meanwhile, in another pan, lightly heat a tortilla over medium just until softened, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or sheet of foil and wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them in the towel or foil. Be careful of overcooking: You're softening each tortilla to prevent them from cracking as they're filled and folded.
  • Fill a softened tortilla with about ⅓ cup of cheese. Roll shut and, with the seam side facing downward, place in the greased baking dish or skillet. Repeat until you've filled all of the tortillas, setting the rolls next to each other.
  • Slowly pour the gravy over all of the tortillas to coat. Afterward, sprinkle the dish with the rest of the cheese and the diced onion.
  • Bake until the gravy is bubbling and the cheese melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley, if desired, alongside a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

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 the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and black beans and continue cooking until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas if you prefer. Corn tortillas are more likely to break when you roll them up, so be careful when handling them.
  • Make sure your fillings are well-seasoned: The fillings are what give enchiladas their flavor, so make sure they're well-seasoned before you roll them up. You can use a variety of spices, herbs, and sauces to flavor your fillings. Like chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic, and onion powder.
  • Don't overstuff your enchiladas: Overstuffed enchiladas are more likely to break when you roll them up. Aim to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
  • Bake your enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will ensure that the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  • Serve your enchiladas with your favorite toppings: You can top your enchiladas with a variety of toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or shredded cheese. If you have picky eaters, serve them toppings on the side, so they can add what they like.

Conclusion:

Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can make a batch of enchiladas that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give enchiladas a try.
