1 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash garlic powder
10 large flour tortillas
2 (8 ounce) cups shredded cheddar cheese or 2 (8 ounce) cups Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • In saucepan, cook beef or turkey and onion until browned; drain.
  • Add flour and seasonings.
  • Mix well.
  • Stir in tomatoes and bring to boil.
  • Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 minutes.
  • In another saucepan, saute garlic in butter.
  • Stir in flour until blended.
  • Gradually stir in broth and bring to boil.
  • Cook and stir for 2 minutes until bubbly.
  • Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings and heat through.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cup sauce in 13x9 inch pan.
  • Spread about 1/4 cup beef mixture down center of tortilla and top with 1-2 Tbsp cheese.
  • Roll up tightly and place seam side-down over sauce in pan.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas and top all with remaining sauce.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes until cheese melts.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: For the best flavor, use a well-marbled cut of beef, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast.
  • Tenderize the beef: To make the beef more tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and spices for several hours or overnight.
  • Cook the beef properly: Be careful not to overcook the beef, or it will become tough. Cook it over medium-high heat until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your enchiladas more flavorful and tender. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can use store-bought tortillas, but be sure to heat them up before using them.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: When filling the tortillas, be sure not to overfill them, or they will be difficult to roll up and will fall apart.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown: Bake the enchiladas in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 20 minutes.
