Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

tomato sauce

all purpose flour

black pepper

salt

garlic powder

onion powder

cumin

oregano

chili powder

beef broth (LOW

tomato paste

canola oil

white corn tortillas

Monterey Jack Cheese (shredded)

Ground Beef

Cook the ground beef over medium heat. Break the beef up while it cooks, cook until browned and no longer pink. 

Turn the heat off. Drain the grease. Add the seasonings to the meat, stir to combine. Then stir in the tomato sauce. Set aside. 

Homemade Enchilada Sauce: 

Heat the oil or butter in a medium size skillet over medium heat.

Add in the flour and stir to mix. Will be a thick mixture. Allow this to cook for just 1-2 minutes.

Add in the spices. Stir to form a thick paste.

Stir in the broth and tomato paste. Stir until smooth. Continue to heat to just below a simmer, sauce will thicken slightly.

Enchiladas:

Preheat oven to 350℉ degrees.

Spread enchilada sauce into the bottom of a glass 9x13 baking dish. Set aside. 

Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium heat in a medium size skillet. 

Once the oil is hot enough to bubble up when a tortilla is dipped in, gently lay the tortilla into the oil using tongs. Allow the tortilla to cook in the oil for about 10-15 seconds, then flip and cook the other side. (Tortillas will not be browned and crisp, we still want them flexible)

Once all tortillas have been fried, dip into the enchilada sauce. Or brush the sauce on.

Lay the tortilla down and add a spoonful of ground beef and a small sprinkle of cheese. 

Roll the tortillas and lay into a baking dish, seam side down. Continue until the dish is filled. 

Spread leftover sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with leftover shredded cheese. 

Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted. 

Serve warm and enjoy.

Ground Beef Enchilada Recipe

medium white or yellow onion, (chopped)

green bell pepper, (chopped)

taco seasoning

red enchilada sauce

flour tortillas ((8 inch))

cheddar cheese ((I like sharp cheddar))

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper and cook until the beef is well cooked and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. If you have a lot of extra grease in the bottom of the skillet from the ground beef, drain some of the excess grease.

Add the taco seasoning, and stir to combine. Cook 1 minute.

Add 1/2 cup of the red enchilada sauce to the ground beef mixture and stir to combine.

Add salt to the beef mixture to taste.

Spread 1/2 cup of the red enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch dish.

Assemble the enchiladas by placing 1/3 cup of the ground beef mixture in down the center of one tortilla. Add a little bit of cheese to the top (plan on using 1 1/2 cups of the grated cheese to fill the enchiladas). Roll up the enchilada, and place it in the pan.

Repeat with beef mixture, cheese, and remaining tortillas.

Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.

Place the remaining cheese on top of the enchilada sauce.

Bake uncovered in a 425 degree F. oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is hot.
