Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds ground beef
¼ cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups red enchilada sauce
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
cooking spray
1 (10 ounce) package flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook and stir ground beef and onion in a skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, taco seasoning, and pepper into the beef mixture until cheese is melted. Mix in red enchilada sauce, chili powder, and salt.
  • Warm tortillas in the microwave for about 1 minute. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas up and place in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Spoon any leftover sauce, black beans, and olives over the tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.

LOW FAT BEEF ENCHILADAS

Extra-lean ground beef and pinto beans form the base of these delicious, low fat beef enchiladas. Choose the spiciness of the enchilada sauce to suit your family's taste. One caveat, however: although this dish is low fat, it contains slightly more than half the recommended daily sodium limit.

LOWER-FAT BEEF ENCHILADAS



Lower-Fat Beef Enchiladas image

Since starting Weight Watchers, I've been experimenting with how to make some of my favorite dishes lower in fat and calories. If I've figured correctly (using 93% lean ground beef and part-skim cheese), these enchiladas should have about 7-8 points each. (The nutritional information that RecipeZaar provides does not always coincide with actual package nutritional information, so please use your own judgement.) My non-Weight watching husband enjoyed them as well. Feel free to add more sauce if you like more of that, as well as add the jalapeno with a few seeds, if you like a hotter enchilada.
