Steps:
- Prepare the chili con carne. Put flour in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to turn golden brown and smell nutty, then pour it onto a plate to cool. Wipe out saute pan and return it to high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot and shimmery, add ground beef to pan, and cook, breaking it up with a fork and stirring, until it is well browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then use a slotted spoon to remove meat to a bowl, leaving drippings behind. Add onion, garlic and jalapeño to pan and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits of meat, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Stir in tomatoes and cook until their liquid has evaporated, then add chili powder, cumin and oregano and stir to combine. After a minute or so, when mixture begins to turn fragrant, return browned meat to pan, along with toasted flour, and stir well to combine. Lower heat to medium-high and slowly stir in chicken stock, ½ cup at a time, until mixture has thickened and started to simmer. Lower heat again and allow chili to cook slowly for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is tender. Add more stock or water if needed. Use immediately, or let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a few days. When you are ready to cook the enchiladas, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saute pan set over medium-high heat, heat ½ cup neutral oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 to 15 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly. Assemble the enchiladas: Using a ladle, put about ½ cup chili in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of cheese into each tortilla, along with a tablespoon or so of chili, then place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle remaining chili over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle chopped onions over the top, if using, and serve immediately.
ENCHILADAS CON CARNE
There are a few cool tricks to this recipe, one of which I picked up from an old issue of Bon Appétit, one I learned from Robb Walsh, the great Tex-Mex scholar and restaurateur who runs El Real Tex-Mex in Houston, and a final one I learned by happenstance. First, for the thickening agent in the chile sauce, toast raw all-purpose flour in a pan until it is nutty and golden brown, then reserve it to stir in with the browned beef later in the recipe. Second, if you like truly melty cheese in the classic Tex-Mex tradition, use a mixture of American cheese, like Velveeta, with the Cheddar you use inside and on top of the finished enchiladas. Finally, if you're fearful that a casserole of cheese, chili and fried tortillas may be a little rich for dinner, serve it with a bowl of tomatillo pineapple salsa on the side. The acidity provides a nice balance. (Note also that as with all recipes, but particularly this one, some planning and practice can get the preparation down to 60 minutes.)

CARNE ASADA ENCHILADAS
This recipe takes time but is pretty easy to put together and serve. A dish full of flavor, color, and texture and as close to Mexican as I know how to get. I served this family-style, letting everyone choose their own toppings of Greek yogurt, chipotle sauce, and guacamole. Refried beans and a fresh-from-the-garden tossed salad makes this one delicious and complete meal.

Steps:
- Fry the mince with the onions, mushrooms & peppers until mince is browned, add the sauce and leave to simmer for 5-10 minutes. (obviously homemade chilli sauce can be used - this is something I make after work so it's my quick version)
- Microwave the rice & lay 3 large tortillas in a baking dish while it's cooking. Split the rice between the 3 tortillas and spread it out along the bottoms.
- Pour the chilli on top of the rice, again splitting it between the 3 tortillas.
- Put about a third of the cheese in each tortilla & then fold them up before putting the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for around 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve with nachos & salad.
Tips:
- To make the enchiladas more flavorful, marinate the chicken in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have any enchilada sauce, you can make your own by simmering together a can of diced tomatoes, a can of tomato sauce, a teaspoon of chili powder, and a teaspoon of cumin.
- To make the enchiladas easier to roll, warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before filling them.
- If you want a crispy enchilada, fry them in hot oil for a few minutes before baking.
- Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.
