Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds ground beef
3 tablespoons chili powder

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

corn tortillas for the amount of enchiladas there should be enough sauce to make 3-4 dozen
2 c shredded cheddar cheese per dozen enchiladas
ENCHILADA SAUCE
2 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 clove garlic, minced
1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
1 tsp oregano (I used Mexican oregano but regular is fine)
3 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp basil
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chipotle chili pepper (this is spicy, it can be reduced to taste)
2-3 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 can(s) tomato sauce, 8 oz.
4-5 c water, divided
meat, you can use any meat - ground meat, shredded chicken
diced onions to top enchiladas (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, cook onions and garlic in the olive oil until onions are clear on medium heat.
  • 2. Gather seasoning and measure them out while onions and garlic are cooking.
  • 3. Add tomato sauce, 3 cups of water, and all the seasoning.
  • 4. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes adding more water as needed, stirring about every 15 minutes. I usually add 1- 2 more cups in the cooking process. At the end you should have a thick flavorful sauce.
  • 5. Allow sauce to cool a bit. Prepare a large pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 6. Dip corn tortillas in sauce making sure they covered well on each side. This will soften them a bit and make rolling easier.
  • 7. Place a small amount of meat and cheese in the center of the corn tortilla.
  • 8. Roll the tortilla and place it seam down in the pan.
  • 9. When you have made the desired amount of enchiladas top with 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce per 11-12 enchiladas. You can put more sauce but don't put too much or they will be soggy.
  • 10. Top with optional diced onions and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese per 11-12 enchiladas.
  • 11. Bake covered for about 40 min.
  • 12. Uncover and bake another 10 min.
  • 13. Serve with rice and beans and enjoy!
  • 14. Freeze any unused sauce in a covered container.

BEEF CHEESE ENCHILADAS WITH ZUCCHINI RECIPE - (5/5)



Beef Cheese Enchiladas with Zucchini Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound lean ground beef
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1 1/2 cups (about 2 medium) finely diced zucchini
12 corn tortillas, heated or fried in oil to soften
2 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, canned or homemade
3 cups cheddar- jack shredded cheese
Serve as desired with: shredded lettuce, avocado, cilantro, sour cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick spray. 2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add ground beef; break apart with a spoon or spatula to crumble the meat. Saute the meat on medium heat until browned (about 5 minutes). Tilt the pan and spoon the fat out of the pan; discard. Remove cooked meat to a bowl. 3. Return pan to medium heat and add onion and zucchini. Saute until just softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pan and add to the meat mixture; set aside. 4. Add 1/2 cup of sauce to the prepared pan. Spread it around so it coats the entire bottom of the pan. 5. Assemble the enchiladas: Place tortilla on a work surface. Spoon 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the meat mixture down the middle. Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of cheese on top of the meat. Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of sauce on top. Wrap the tortilla around the filling tightly and place it seam-side-down in the pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling until you have finished filling 12 tortillas. Place the tortillas side-by-side in the pan- it's okay if they are all snuggled in there tightly. 6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the stuffed enchiladas. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. 7. Remove pan from the oven and take off the foil. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top; return to the oven and let the cheese melt (about 5 minutes). 8. Serve immediately with desired condiments.

BEEF & CHEESE ENCHILADAS

My son needed an enchilada recipe for his Food Science class. He wanted my recipe, but I don't use a recipe per se'. I have guestimated here and I think it should be pretty close to what I make. My enchiladas are comfort food. We have these for New Years because we are usually tired of turkey and ham by then. These can be made all beef or all cheese.

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 pound hamburger
4 organic flour tortillas
1 1/4 cup tillamook, farm style, with 4 cheeses, or more if needed
1 can red la victoria enchilada sauce, 10 ounces, divided
tostitos brand mild chunky salsa
3 heaping tablespoons chopped onions
1 teaspoon cilantro dry leaf
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
sea salt and coarse ground pepper to taste
GARNISH
sour cream
avocado slices
tomatoes
green onions chopped
pimento stuffed olives
SERVING SUGGESTION
refried beans

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Get all the ingredients on the counter before you begin. I used a Copper Chef pan to bake the enchiladas which is about 9 X 9 inches square. You can use any similar size pan or baking dish.
  • ZAP 'EM! Wrap four large organic tortillas in paper towels and set them in the microwave. Zap for 15 seconds. Leave them covered and in the oven.
  • Chop the onions.
  • COOK MEAT AND ONIONS In a medium skillet over med high heat, fry the hamburger, breaking it up with a spatula. When it turns gray, add the chopped onion.
  • SEASON I just sprinkle the seasonings without measuring. You may want more, so taste after adding. Add the seasonings: 1/4 teaspoon of each, garlic powder, cumin, and cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the meat is done. Set aside.
  • THE SECRET INGREDIENT Add the 1/2 cup of Tostitos mild salsa Stir in, and set pan aside. (This brand of salsa is amazing in these enchiladas. Others, not so much.)
  • La Victoria is the brand of enchilada sauce I use. It is a mild sauce. You can always add more heat, but you can't take it out. :) I have tried other brands, we prefer this one.
  • SAUCE Pour almost half of the red enchilada sauce in the pan.
  • MAKE ENCHILADAS Take a warm tortilla in your hand ( or fill it on a cutting board) and put about three heaping tablespoons of the meat mixture down the center of the tortilla..
  • CHEESE This is the brand of cheese I use: Tillamook, Farm Style, 4 cheese, thick grated. (It is incredible in enchiladas!)
  • Add two tablespoons grated cheese on top of the meat
  • ROLL 'EM! Roll the enchiladas and put them seam down in the pan on top of the sauce. Finish rolling the rest of the enchiladas. Organic tortillas aren't as pliable as regular tortillas, so I wrap them loose.
  • SAUCE Pour the remainder of the sauce over the enchiladas.
  • MORE CHEESE Place a wide row of the remaining cheese down the center of the enchiladas. (It spreads as it cooks)
  • BAKE 'EM! Cover the pan with foil tightly. Bake the enchiladas at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
  • GARNISH Serve with sour cream, green olives, a garnish of green onions and fresh cilantro with sliced avocados and cherry tomatoes. Serving suggestion: refried beans.
  • EAT 'EM Here is what it looks like. Enjoy!
