1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces) lean ground beef

  • Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly along the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Categories     Cinco de Mayo     winter     comfort food     main dish     meat

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 10-oz. cans enchilada sauce (about 2 cups)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 small white onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 4-oz. can diced green chiles, drained
8 8-inch flour tortillas
2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Thinly sliced red onion, for garnish
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the enchilada sauce to a small saucepan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture to the enchilada sauce (reserve the remaining spice mix for the beef). Bring the sauce a simmer over medium heat; Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and the remaining spice blend. Cook, stirring often, until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 8 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce; cook 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and let cool slightly.
  • Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds on high to soften. Leave the paper towel over top of them to keep them moist and pliable.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Spoon 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon 1/2 cup of the beef mixture down the center of a tortilla; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling, and place in the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the tortillas are toasted, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes; top with red onion and cilantro just before serving with sour cream, if you like.
