Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds ground beef
¼ onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups enchilada sauce
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
8 flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook and stir ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and enchiladas and sauce are bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

This is your basic enchilada, you may take these to another level by adding in other ingredients to the ground beef, like corn, cooked rice, green bell pepper, jalapeño pepper --- you may also adjust the olives and cheese to taste ---make certain to have the ground beef filling still hot when filling the tortillas, or the enchiladas will take longer to bake and will get soggy, baking time should be no more than 20 minutes or just enough to heat up the dish --- see my recipe#76616 and recipe#168653

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.
  • Top with the remaining cup of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese on top.
  • Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
  • Top the enchiladas with the cilantro and Cotija cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use skirt steak or flank steak for your enchiladas. These cuts of meat are flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
  • Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • To make your enchiladas extra cheesy, use a combination of cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and queso Oaxaca.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought enchilada sauce. However, if you have the time, making your own sauce is definitely worth the effort.
  • Be sure to heat the tortillas before filling and rolling them. This will help to prevent them from cracking.
  • Serve your enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Beef enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make Mexican dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a fun weekend party.
