Beef Enchiladas

Beef Enchiladas come together with a few simple ingredients, making a delicious, cheesy Mexican meal in less than an hour.
Servings: 8 enchiladas
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped fine
  • 3 ounces green chili peppers, chopped
  • 1.5 ounces taco seasoning, mild
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup salsa, mild
  • 30 ounces enchilada sauce
  • 10 8 inch corn tortillas, or flour tortillas, depending on preference
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups Colby cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the ground beef and the chopped onion in a large skillet and cook until no longer pink. Drain the grease from the pan.
  • Add the green chili peppers, the taco seasoning, water and salsa to the skillet. Cook on low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Put about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly to coat the dish.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture onto the center of an 8 inch corn (or flour) tortilla and top it with a bit of shredded cheese.
  • Fold each side together and carefully roll the tortilla closed, then place it in the baking dish with the seam side down.
  • Continue rolling enchiladas until all 8 tortillas are filled and placed in the baking dish. If you are using smaller tortillas, you may have 10 or 12 enchiladas.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top to cover all of the enchiladas. Add the rest of the shredded cheese to the top of the enchiladas. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and all is heated through.
  • Remove the enchiladas from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Serve them with spicy tortilla chips, shredded lettuce and sweet corn. Recipe makes 8 enchiladas.
