CREAMY CHEDDAR BEEF ENCHILADAS



Creamy Cheddar Beef Enchiladas image

This is an easy and delicious dinner. Add a tossed green salad and you've got a well-rounded meal!

Provided by awhita11

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup white rice
1 ½ cups water
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 cup water
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 (7.75 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring rice and 1 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is almost tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 9x13-inch baking dishes.
  • Cook beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until crumbly and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease and stir in onion and garlic until thoroughly combined. Stir taco seasoning and 1 cup water into the mixture, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes to thicken. Gently stir in rice. Cook, stirring often, until liquid is absorbed. Mix refried beans, cottage cheese, and 1 cup Cheddar cheese into the filling and stir until fully combined.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup of filling in a line down the center of each tortilla and roll tortillas; place 5 tortillas with seam sides down into bottom of each prepared baking dish.
  • Mix enchilada sauce with sour cream in a bowl and pour half the sauce down the center of each pan of enchiladas; sprinkle tops with 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese topping is melted and the filling is hot, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: A blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella is a classic choice for enchiladas. You can also use queso fresco, Oaxaca cheese, or pepper Jack cheese. Just avoid cheeses that are too hard or crumbly, as they won't melt well.
  • Make sure the tortillas are pliable: If the tortillas are too stiff, they will crack when you roll them up. To soften them, you can warm them in the microwave for a few seconds or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • Don't overstuff the enchiladas: If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to roll up and they may fall apart. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is what really makes this dish special. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. If you are making your own, be sure to use a variety of spices to give it a rich flavor.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the tortillas are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Beef and cheese enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will love. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your enchiladas are perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give beef and cheese enchiladas a try. You won't be disappointed!
