10 -
Optional: Chopped red onion, hot sauce, sliced green onion, fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, diced avocado, shredded lettuce, cotija cheese, or a cilantro garnish
# Steps:
01 -
In a heated pan over medium-high, cook beef until browned all over. Drain extra grease, remove the meat, and set aside.
02 -
Use a little oil to sauté onions until soft, then toss in garlic and cook just briefly, about half a minute.
03 -
Place the beef back into the pan, toss in taco seasoning, green chiles, tomato paste, and add water according to the taco seasoning instructions. Let it simmer until the water evaporates. Adjust flavor with salt and some pepper if needed.
04 -
Heat oven to 350°F. Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into your 9×13 baking dish and evenly coat the bottom.
05 -
Scoop roughly 1/3 cup of beef filling down the middle of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on top, roll snugly, and set each one seam-side down into the prepared dish. Keep going with the rest of the tortillas.
06 -
Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle the last 1 cup of cheese. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 -
Dish up hot with your favorite toppings like creamy sour cream, fresh cilantro leaves, or chunky avocado pieces.
# Notes:
01 -
Warm stiff tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds each side or wrap in a damp cloth and microwave for 20-30 seconds to keep them from splitting apart.
02 -
Boost the filling by adding beans, like black beans or refried, or mix in cooked rice.
03 -
Use green enchilada sauce for something different, or spice up the beef with chipotle or chili powder if you like more heat.
04 -
Combine easy pantry ingredients for cheesy, saucy enchiladas packed with flavor.
