1/2 cup finely diced fresh poblano peppers or 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1/2 cup finely diced white onions or 1/2 cup yellow onion

  • Combine in large skillet ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Cook until beef is browned.
  • Drain grease.
  • Return to skillet and add tomatoes, peppers or canned chilies, and beans (I prefer the Texas beans and fresh pablano pepper here because of the added flavor).
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer while preparing the sauce, stirring frequently.
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients in medium bowl with a wire whisk until butter has melted.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add about 1/2 cup sauce to meat mixture.

  • Dip each tortilla (the whole wheat are absolutely delicious in this recipe) into the enchilada sauce coating thoroughly.
  • Lay the soaked tortilla in your baking pan and add one serving spoon of the meat mixture lengthwise along one end of tortilla then roll it up from there (Note that there should be about 2 serving spoons of meat left when you are done with filling all tortillas).
  • When done rolling each one make sure to place it so that open end of tortilla is on the bottom to avoid spillage.
  • Repeat with all tortillas.
  • Add remaining meat mixture and remaining sauce evenly on top of enchiladas.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, remove foil, cover with grated cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes uncovered, or until all cheese has melted.
  • For easiest serving, slice enchiladas in half lengthwise down the pan.
  • Serve with rice, sour cream, guacamole, and your favorite corn chips.

GROUND BEEF ENCHILADAS WITH RED SAUCE



Ground Beef Enchiladas With Red Sauce image

I dont like the store bought red enchilada sauce, so I make my own. You can use any beans you like, black, pinto, chili or kidney. I have also left the beans out, and spread the tortilla with refried beans before adding the beef mixture. Either way is great. I like to make the sauce and beef mixture the night before, then all I have to do is assemble and bake, and its super easy. This recipe freezes well. Sometimes I like to make a double batch of the sauce, and freeze for later use.

Tips for Making Delicious Ground Beef Enchiladas:

- **Choose high-quality ingredients:** Use fresh, flavorful ingredients for the best results. Look for lean ground beef, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheese. - **Season the ground beef well:** Use a combination of spices and herbs to add flavor to the ground beef. Chili powder, cumin, and paprika are all good choices. - **Simmer the enchilada sauce:** Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. For a thicker sauce, simmer for longer. - **Use corn tortillas:** Corn tortillas are traditional for enchiladas, and they hold up well to being filled and rolled. - **Fill the tortillas evenly:** Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to break. - **Bake the enchiladas until hot and bubbly:** This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through. - **Serve with your favorite toppings:** Enchiladas can be served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. ###
