Beef Enchiladas with Homemade Enchilada Sauce
Ingredients
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 lbs ground beef
salt and pepper
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles, I used mild
1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained thoroughly
8-10 flour tortillas
3 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese
1 batch homemade red enchilada sauce, or 1 can store-bought enchilada sauce
chopped fresh cilantro and green onions, for garnish
Preparation
1
If you're making homemade enchilada sauce, prepare it.
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3
Add oil to a big skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add ground beef and crumble (use a potato masher to make it easier). Once ground beef is about halfway cooked, add onion, garlic, and green chiles and saute for 3-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Drain beef mixture.
5
To make the enchiladas, spread a couple of tablespoons of the enchilada sauce over the tortilla. Add beans in a line down the middle of the tortilla, then add in a spoonful of the beef mixture, drizzle some extra enchilada sauce over the meat, then add ⅓ cup cheese. Roll up tortilla and place in a greased 9 x 13" baking pan.
6
Continue with remaining tortillas.
7
Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
8
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, broiling the last few minutes if you want the cheese to be a more golden brown.
9
Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.
