BEEF ENCHILADA SKILLET RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Beef Enchilada Skillet Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-11135

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 (15.5-ounce) can red or black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 cup salsa
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth
8 ounces pasta
4 ounces Colby jack cheese, shredded
1 green onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef in a 10-inch skillet. Drain the beef and add in the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add in the garlic, taco seasoning, chili powder, salsa, enchilada sauce, whipping cream and 1 cup broth. Stir well and add the pasta, again stir and then add in the beans. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, covered for 20 minutes or until pasta is cooked. You will need to add more broth as you go and the pasta absorbs the liquid. Once the pasta is done, top with the cheese, cover and remove from heat. Allow the cheese to melt and top with the sliced green onion.

Tips:

  • Choose the right skillet: Use a large, oven-proof skillet that is at least 12 inches in diameter. This will ensure that the enchiladas have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the enchiladas will taste. If possible, use fresh tortillas, salsa, and cheese.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: When filling the tortillas, be sure not to overfill them. This will make them difficult to roll and will also make them more likely to fall apart.
  • Cook the enchiladas until they are golden brown: The enchiladas are done cooking when they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Skillet enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. With a few simple tips, you can make skillet enchiladas that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
